    The saline content must be much higher for any degydration of bacteria cells to occur. The bacteria must also be exposed to the salt for longer time. As for insects and insect eggs, they will be dissolved by enzymes and the acid in our stomaches and be what my mom says "extra protein".

      You must be one of those people who doesn't clean their meats before cooking them 🤢🤮
      .
      Clean your veg's and your meats, you ain't got a single clue who touched it or where it's been before it gets to your plate.
      .
      Vinegar, salt and water.

      Not to mention the veggies will be cooked at high temperatures that would kill any bacteria and insect eggs. Making even the incorrect reasoning of this method redundant.

    Hi Lau team: sorry, but this tip and its reasoning are misguided. The video uses a kernel of truth but unfortunately draws a pointless piece of advice from it.
    (1) First and foremost: this video shows the use of about 17g of salt in a couple of litres of water, for 2-3 minutes. The processes that you describe for bacteria will not occur at that concentration and in such a short time. If you look at some of the literature, you will see that you need much higher concentrations of salt and longer contact time to kill a meaningful amount of bacteria.
    (2) The video also does not acknowledge the existence of halophilic and halotolerant bacteria (which thrive in and tolerate saline environments respectively). That is, a saline solution actually *promotes* the growth of some pathogens - although, as with point 1, this will not occur in such a short time anyway.
    (3) In any event, for cooked vegetables (like broccoli), food-borne bacteria will be killed by the cooking process. For cooked or uncooked vegetables, the bacteria (and critters) can be removed mechanically by washing them in fresh water - there is nothing meaningful to be gained by including salt in that process.

    I was amazed by how throughly Asian rinse their food before using it...I think much of the food is rinsed during the processing.
    Now, after seeing Asians rinse so much i have started rinsing my vegetables. The water does have fine sand in the bowl.😮

      @@SynestriaVImy comment was aimed towards the „killing effect“.
      Most bacteria are fine with a salt concentration of 1% or even higher, it’s even necessary for growth… balancing for some seconds or minutes will kill whatever is on the surface, but soaking the broccoli in a little saltwater is just doing nothing tbh.
