Fruit coated with candle to maintain its color!.

Well, they are not rubbing candles on the fruit. They are spraying/wiping on liquid parafin wax. This is not digestable, it passes through and out the "other end". It is only used on large fruits (apples, pears, etc); so, small bright colored fruit does not have any. Small amounts are not supposed to be harmful; but, if you are concerned, simply peel the fruit before eating.

i know that, it keeps the fruit stay fresh. u better wash it carefully before u eat it because as we know candle is used to light in dinner..

I agree with speakeasy, the wax supposedly isn't harmful, but I usually peel my fruit or buy organic..Another way around this is to grow your own if you can. I have berry plants as well as a pear tree, (I also have apple, but for some reason I never get apples), and growing food myself, I know it is pesticide and wax free..:)

it depends on what kind of parafin is used. if nothing is added to it, it should be safe. our people have been preserving fruit for hundreds of years by covering it with wax. didnt you know? im not sure though if they use the same as our ancestors used. they used to can fruits and preserves, pour over wax to keep it safe. then take off the wax when ready to use. we used to have waxed pop bottle candy when i was a child and we chewed it sometimes but spit it out rather then swallow.

hey you can check them dear by rubbing it on a paper if the greasy spots are there then they are having wax on them. or by washing .........it in water.......wax is not good ok.......so always wash them before eating... take care keep mylotting.......
