They have been sprayed with organic fungicide and eco oil pesticide (black spot and whitefly) so does washing and patting dry affect longevity of storage and do the splits in the fruit trap chemicals? Is plan water enough?
Getting a bit paranoid about them being safe to consume

I generally wash before eating rather than before storing so that it won’t impact the longevity. I wouldn’t worry about the organic sprays, the eco-oil is just a mix of plant oils and is safe to eat the vegies with no withholding period. If the organic fungacide is the eco-fungicide brand it is just potassium bicarbonate, very similar to bicarb-soda and can be used in cooking in much the same way so is definitely safe to consume.

Ok thanks. I’ll just refrigerate and tell my friend to rinse them
