Want to make sure your fresh produce is cleaned and ready to eat? Here's how to clean produce using vinegar!

Want to make sure your fresh produce is cleaned and ready to eat? Here’s how to clean produce using vinegar!

How to Clean Produce Using Vinegar:

1. You’re going to be combining cool water and white vinegar to make your cleaning solution.

2. Depending on how much produce you’re washing, get an appropriate size bowl and add 1 part vinegar to 3 parts cool water.

3. Add your fruits or veggies and let them soak for 15-20 minutes, giving them a good swish every so often.

4. Drain your produce and give it a rinse with clean water.

5. Lay the produce out on kitchen towels and allow to dry before putting away.

A few notes:

-The produce will not taste like vinegar after this process is over!
-If you’re cleaning items like lettuces or celery, pull apart each leaf or stalk and let those soak to make sure the cleaning solution can get to all the crevices.
-If I have a large load of produce, I’ll do this whole process in the sink! Follow the same instructions, just make sure to give your sink a good clean afterward.
-The veggie and fruit washes sold in grocery stores are basically pointless (and expensive), but vinegar has been shown time and time again to effectively remove bacteria.
-Vinegar is cheap!
