What’s the honest-to-goodness best way to wash your produce? Here is a good bite in doing this, use water and white vinegar – no lie. A few squirts on your fruits and veggies get rid of the nasty stuff (like pesticide residue) that you don’t want, no store bought washes necessary.
Well, here are some benefits you will have. Like, brushing bugs under the rug. A diluted vinegar rinse kills 98% of bacteria on produce; researchers found it works even better than a scrub brush. Another thing is you can have cash savings you can believe in. Water and vinegar rinses cost just pennies; the premade washes cost $4 and up. And, it’s a simple truth: Buying plastic bottles of produce wash means having to recycle them too (not to mention the energy and materials needed to make and ship them in the first place) you’ll still need to buy bottles of vinegar, but you’ll buy fewer of them.
