Individuals were alerted about the hazard of elevated nitrate levels in mandarins, especially at the start of the season when the fruit might be cultivated using accelerators. According to technologist Natalia Fomenko in an interview, nitrates, upon entering the body, can convert into nitrosamines, which are classified as carcinogenic substances linked to an increased risk of oncological ailments.
Furthermore, an excess of such compounds can impact the cardiovascular system and trigger poisoning, particularly in children, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immunity. It is safer to select fruit from Abkhazia, Georgia, and Morocco, pay attention to dull rinds, and thoroughly wash the produce, or preferably soak it in water.
Experts remind us that completely eliminating nitrates is impossible, but careful selection and moderate consumption help lower dangers and allow one to calmly enjoy seasonal fruits.
