Rinse fruits and vegetables under running cold water for at least one minute. This method significantly reduces contaminants and pesticides.
Usage: Ideal for all fruits and vegetables, especially those with thin skins.
Mix half a cup of apple cider vinegar with one cup of water and soak fruits and vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
This method may alter the taste and texture of soft fruits, as the acetic acid in the vinegar can affect them.
Usage: Ideal for more durable products where changes in taste are not a concern.
Dissolve approximately 0.84 grams of baking soda in 100 milliliters of water and soak the produce for 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
Usage: Ideal for products that need a deeper clean.
Note: Soaking for too long may damage the texture and skin of the fruits.
Method: Separate the leaves or florets (such as lettuce, cabbage, broccoli) and wash them individually under running water.
Usage: Suitable for leafy and flower vegetables where dirt and contaminants can easily get trapped between them.
None of these home washing methods can completely eliminate the microbes on fruits and vegetables. Cooking at temperatures above 60°C is the only method that can effectively destroy microbes.
