You know what if there is a worm in the vegetable you purchase in the grocery, You should not be grossed out, Why? because that means that vegetable is organic, If the worm survived from eating that vegetable that means you will also survive eating that vegetable. Just discard the parts bitten by the worm, dont throw away that veggie just because you saw a small worm on it. Its an indication that your veggie is not toxic.

Yes you are right simply means that there are no pesticides left on the plant, and just the same most of us would still run the vegetables in running water as standard procedure.

this may sound gross, there is a grocery before that got caught to make sure no bugs will touch their veggies, they spray kerosene. that grocery also rub kerosene in tomatoes and apples to make them shiny.

Some plants have worms, some others have aphids. I share my apricots with the birds nearby and use the bitten ones for jams. If I threw away every bitten leaf, I would not be able to eat any veggie from my garden.
But the worm remains in the kitchen and the to the waste basket or the compost pile.

the worms would be good in the compost pile, they will help to make it more nutrient for the soil. I have Beatles in my compost pile.

have you tried the paperbag method? Get a paperbag that is dried after being soaked in eucalyptus oil, use it to cover your fruits and flowers in the tree.

You're the first person I know of to actually be happy that his vegetables have worms.
But yeah I suppose, now you put it that way, it makes sense.

Hmm but there's no way for you to know if it is full of chemicals or not. Just because it's not in the organic section doesn't mean that it's completely soaked in pesticides.
Although it is true that pesticides may harm you especially as it collects in your body over time.

Just imagine eating a very pretty vegetable, clean from bug bites but rich in chemicals.

That's right. I never have any problem with insects on my vegetables. I just wash them away and keep on going (sometimes I might miss a few and then that's just extra protien, lol). I'd rather insects tha pesticides anyday.

100% agree!
Long time before people talk about organic, i hate to see those little worm.
Now, most of farm use those chemical, i seldom see worm again.
Yes, those leave looks perfect but we all know there is some problem inside it.
Nowaday, when i see there is little worm on it.
I feel happy and i will buy it. ( only when see one. If more then one, i dare not buy them)
When i see the leave is not 100% perfect, i am happy to buy them.
As those are with less chemical on it!

I remember there is a guy and he is vegetarian but forsomesome reason he got cancer, we know vegetarians are not suppose to have cancer,they were suppose to be healthy,well the vegetables he eats are not organic. we have more chance to survive with vegetables with worms than the perfect looking ones.,

LOL I have a typo, I typed worm as work. I created this discussion because many people throw away their veggies after seeing a worm. they didnt know what a veggie with worm is 10 times safer than a pretty wormless veggie.

You are right about the protein stuff, Iknow some people who actually cooked the worm too cosof their protein. they were so small and they will die if they got cooked. we wont notice their presence....

I have been taking this vegetable issues so seriously nowadays, I dont want to eat poisonous andtoxic vegetables. A worm is a sign that you wont die from that veggie.

Well, good for worms and bugs they know better non-toxic veggies than humans (lolz)
I am looking for veggies with worms when buying from the market (hahaha)
Better to take off the worms- chemicals cannot be washed with water alone :p

sometimes though the veggies absorbed the chemicals that washing wont remove them at all. some mad scie3ntist already created produce were the pesticide is on its genes,

I see, so at this point I really wonder about the necessity for pesticides. Worms are harmless I guess, so why son't they just let vegetables free of pesticides and let us have good food?

So does I. I had seen also one time that there is a small worm in a vegetable. I was not shock about it though. I believe it was just natural since the vegetable is very fresh. Anyway, I do not eat vegetable much. Maybe I should give it a try later on.

Well I would prefer some charity there. I would leaving it for the sake of worm and move on.
Or if you feel really pissed off, the call the police. Maybe matter with the worm need to be solved in the court. :D

actually all organic vegetables have worms andI actually prefer them, you can remove the worm and move on, The worm is an indication that the vegetable is not poisonous.
