| DIY PRODUCE WASH Did you know that removing pesticides can be as simple as vinegar and water? That’s right, just two ingredients to healthier & cleaner food! Fill up a large bowl or your kitchen sink (pre-cleaned, of course!) with 1 part vinegar and 4 parts water. Let your fruits/vegetables soak in this mixture for up to an hour (non-organic apples can soak for an additional 30 minutes to an hour). Remove the produce from the mixture, give them another quick rinse with water, and they are ready to eat! Take a peek at the leftover “soaking water” after this process – you should be able to see all of the gunk that came off the produce! This mixture also helps to extend the life of your fruits and vegetables so that they last longer without spoiling. DIY PRODUCE SPRAY This pesticide-removing natural spray is super simple to make with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen! | |
| 1 tablespoon | lemon juice |
| 2 tablespoons | baking soda |
| 1 cup | water |
Mix these ingredients until the baking soda has dissolved, and pour into a clean spray bottle. Spritz the mixture onto your fruits and vegetables, and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Rinse the mixture off, and enjoy your produce!
