What's an effective and safe method to clean fruits and vegetables of insecticides besides buying organic?

by Tricia


For most fruits & veggies, you can just run them under cool water and wipe them dry with a clean paper towel and either eat right then or save for later. For berries, you're better off trying to find organic, if that's just not possible you should rinse and dry them only immediatly before using them. Otherwise they will mold or get mushy.

    Wash them, scrub with soft brush. I am sure you can get a special cleaner that is made for washing vegetable at most grocery stores now.

    There is a veggie wash called "fit" it's all natural, and perfectly safe. I know they sell it a Kroger with the vegetarian foods.

    The site is http://www.fitwash.com/

    Call 1-888-348-4722 for a free sample for a fee sample

    I use "Fit" vegetable wash. It's great for getting wax and other yuckies off fruits and veggies. I've heard a vinegar solution will work too, but I just don't like smelling vinegar before I eat my fruit! 🙂
