Are tomatoes worth rinsing off if you boil them soon after? Have a large set of tomatoes to make some pasta sauce. To soften them for the food mill I boil them. My question is whether it's worth rinsing if they're eventaully gonna get boiled anyway?
Boiling can take care of any bacterial contaminants. 

But boiled dirt still tastes like dirt. And boiled pesticides are probably still not good for you.
