How Do You Clean Your Veggies?

  • This may seem like a DUMB question, but what, in your opinon, is the best way to clean your veggies? Do you use any of those sprays that are available at the grocery story? I read somewhere that some scrubs their veggies. With what?

    Thanks!
  • I don't use any commercial scrubs. I wash in water and sometimes use a natural bristle brush. I buy organic.

    Apple cider vinegar and grapefruit seed extract is a safe, natural wash.
  • It's funny that you've asked that question. I had the EXACT same thought yesterday while washing peppers.
  • I wash all my fruit and vegetables with a mixture of 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water. I just put it in a spray bottle and spray them and then rinse. Vinegar is a natural product (hey it's part of salad dressing) so I know it's safe. I can't eat anything that isn't washed. I can just see someone sneezing on them! Or picking them up with dirty hands and putting them back down. We all do that, you know we do!!
  • Wow! Vinegar and water! I never thought of that. I'll have to give that a try! No one knows about a vegetable scrub brush?
