A video has gone viral showing a man sprinkling chemical powder on cabbages in Delhi, India, to supposedly keep them fresh longer for the market. The video, posted by an Instagram user named Anjum, warns that such chemicals can be harmful, potentially causing serious health issues like heart attacks, skin problems, and cancer.
She advises boiling the cabbages in salt water for a minute before consumption to remove pesticides. The incident highlights the broader issue of chemical usage in agriculture and its impact on health, amidst increasing urban dependency on commercially farmed produce.
