Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 I do understand that organic products may be steamed (instead of being irradiated) when coming from areas such as Mexico or Hawaii. Similar to irradiation the steaming is likely to kill fruit flies and their eggs, among other things. I do not know how much steaming is used commercially instead of irradiation. If it is efficient and cost effective I hope they use it instead. Of course my preference is to eat such fruits fresh off the tree in the tropics!
