🍎 From Orchard to Kitchen — A Silent Danger in Kashmir 🫙

It’s Achar Season in Kashmir. Homes are filled with the aroma of mustard oil, spices, and sunshine 🌶️☀️

But here’s something most of us never think about 👇

Kashmir grows apples , and every year, farmers buy pesticides and insecticides in white plastic buckets for their orchards 🍏
After spraying season, those same empty pesticide buckets are cleaned and reused for storing homemade achar.

Even after washing, these buckets still contain toxic chemical residues.When mustard oil and spices touch them, the poisons leach back into your food.

You may not see it but over time, it can cause serious health problems, even cancer ⚠️

👉 This season, please avoid using pesticide buckets for achar.Use new or food-grade containers made for edible oil, honey, or dairy instead.

Let’s keep our Kashmiri flavors pure, and our families healthy ❤️
