Did you know that soaking produce in baking soda and water can remove up to 96% of pesticides in just 12 minutes? ✨ A 2017 study from the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that baking soda’s alkalinity helps break down the chemical bonds of acidic pesticides, making them easier to wash away. Plus, it’s a non-toxic, gentle way to clean your produce—better than harsher alternatives!
How to do it
Ratio: 1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄 per 2 cups cold water💧 *Soak for 12 minutes, rinse, dry, and enjoy! 🌿

The sweet/salty flavor of the pistachios is what really makes this recipe great. I do not recommend using a different nut. If you want to make homemade chicken nuggets, try this recipe.
I suggest using an instant read thermometer so you know when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F and you can be sure they are fully cooked.
Yes, this recipe is easily doubled or even tripled to serve a crowd.
