Stupid Tip of the Day: How you Clean Your Veggies.

 


So, vegetables are important in our daily diet. And, how you clean them, is also important. I’ve seen people use cold water, No. Soap? NO! And, just pulling them out of a bag and eating. Definitely NO!

The quickest rinse is hot water. Than, run under cold water, to stop the cooking from inside, because of the heat of the water will start to cook the produce.

I’ve heard some people say a drop of chlorine bleach is a good way to clean the veggies, but I think that, that is only beneficial when the produce has come from your own garden.

Other than that, buying store produce could probably just go with a splash of hydrogen peroxide, in the soak and rinse of the vegetable. That is the safest process to clean and rinse, benefit the produce as well as your body.
