Fruit and Vegetable Wash.

Posted on August 19, 2009 by admin

I can be an OC when washing vegetables. It usually takes me more time cleaning and washing my vegetables than chopping them. It’s a good thing I came across this vegetable wash from Re-Nest that I can prepare. This will save me a lot of water, and of course help get rid of bugs or germs and other residue.

Produce Wash
* 1 cup water
* 1 cup distilled white vinegar
* 1 tablespoon baking soda
* 20 drops grapefruit seed extract (available at Whole Foods or your local health food store or you can substitute lemon juice in a pinch)

Combine all ingredients in a large container. Then, transfer to a spray bottle with a pump. Spray mixture on produce (avoid using on mushrooms), let sit 5 to 10 minutes and rinse.
