WHY is Washing of Fruits and Vegetables important for us?
Sometimes, raw fruits and vegetables contain harmful germs that can make you and your family sick, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria as well as pesticides.
The safest produce to eat is cooked; and the next safest is washed!
For a simple and effective vegetable cleaning solution, you can make a DIY produce wash using common kitchen ingredients.
Combine equal parts of Distilled White Vinegar and Water in a bowl or spray bottle.
Mix well, then soak your vegetables in the solution for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly with cold water. This natural wash helps remove pesticides, dirt, and bacteria, leaving your vegetables clean and ready to enjoy.
It's also a good idea to rinse produce BEFORE you peel it, so dirt and bacteria aren't transferred from the knife onto the fruit or vegetable.
Washing vegetables before eating is crucial for both taste and health. It not only removes potential contaminants like pesticides, dirt, and bacteria but also enhances the flavors by ensuring that you're savoring the true essence of the produce.
Clean veggies not only contribute to a healthier diet but also make your culinary creations more enjoyable.
