Well, I got suckered into wax on my veggies again today. I have often
bought the small yellow/orange/red peppers that Costco sells, rinse them
off, leave them whole and just quickly 'fry them up.' I've noticed in the
past few months that one has to choose carefully not to get an overdue
package.
I just opened the package for lunch and took out a couple of handfulls and
my hands were full of more-like 'grease' than wax. It took a couple of good
washings to get this off my hands. I sprayed them with vinegar and hope it
will come off. If not, another veggie lost to the wind. These are not
available at my closest market, so I've been happy to get them. I suppose
there has been too much waste with the previous peppers, so I would imagine
that spraying them with the grease/wax was their answer to lots of spoilage.

I used to use some sort of grapeseed drops (very expensive) which you had to
drop into a container of water to set the veggies in. The bottles became so
tedious and the exercise so tedious that when someone suggested that I try
what they do, just spray with vinegar; I've been doing this. Apples I peel,
but I don't like to peel off the pectin. It's nice when Fall is here and
some are not sprayed.

Anyone have anything they do differently to get the wax off -- or do they
just consider it safe.
