Spray & Wash

Peppers

It’s recommended that even if you are getting organic fruits and veggies, that you still clean them before eating them. Many people tend to just use water, or to really get your veggies clean, there are 100% all-natural solutions such as Veggie Wash.

Want a DIY solution that is not only inexpensive, but also incredibly effective? Try out this tip I received from my friend Missy in Atlanta (who heard it on NPR). Mix 3 parts water with 1 part distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle. After spraying the fruit or veggie with the solution, rinse it with cold water. According to the study (conducted by editors of Cook’s Illustrated) the diluted vinegar rinse removes 98 percent of the bacteria.

Do you have a great tip? Send it our way!
