I know  that several things like peppers, apples and cucumbers are often 
waxed. The  washing doesn't seem to remove this. Is it also harmful and, if so, 
does  anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.


Well, I did get a reply from someone who does it a lot. She said, "Wash the  
apple
and dry well, rubbing with a clean kitchen towel."
 
I don't know if its harmful. I HAVE tried scraping it off when I have them,  
using my fingernails or a peeler. It doesn't work very well, though. ;-]
