โAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
Is cleaning dirty fruits and vegetables considered Borer on Shabbat?
Answer:
It is permitted to rinse fruits and vegetables on Shabbat under running water in order to clean them from dirt or pesticides, even if they were so dirty that one would not eat it without washing it. This may only be done immediately prior to eating the fruits or vegetables. [1]
However, one may not soak a dirty vegetable or fruit in a bowl of water so that the dirt separates from the fruit or vegetable.[2] Nonetheless, if the vegetable or fruit is already clean, and one only wants to soak it in order to clean it further, such as in order to rid it of pesticides that are not easily noticed, it is permitted, since whatever is being separated is not noticeable.[3]
