No boil, but wash in (lightly) soapy water with lots of agitation for at least a minute and rinse well. Or use a product designed for that and rinse well.

Yeah, I'd be pissed too. The problem these days is that anything less than an actual cleaning agent isn't going to dislodge whatever industrial-strength nasty is on the leaves, so you can't just rinse and call it done anymore.

Not shaming you, I had to learn the hard way too. I wash all produce now, and have for years. When you know, you know, and now unfortunately you know too.

  • I’m probably going to do both going forward

    I know boiling works cus I cooked the beans I made with the water from the contaminated pico the cilantro was in (didn’t know I had a problem at that point).

    I’ve been eating the beans still, no problems, so the cooking must’ve helped neutralize it.
