how to wash your fruit!🍓🫐🍒🛁🫧

if you want to give your fruit a deeper clean to remove bacteria and pesticides, give this vinegar and baking soda soak a try! 🫧

note: I’ve received some comments that baking soda and vinegar neutralize each other when used together. so you may actually want to try using them separately. but, according to my research the fizzing reaction when using them together can help remove dirt/debris. I’m not totally sure what the best option is out of the two, so I think it’s probably up to you what you’d prefer!

🧪 there’s evidence that washing produce in a baking soda solution can significantly reduce pesticide residues on the skins of our fruit, since baking soda is mildly abrasive.

🧪vinegar has antimicrobial properties and can help kill bacteria and viruses.

if you don’t have vinegar or baking soda, plain water rinses are great too! water can still help to remove dirt, bacteria, and pesticide residue :)

Cleaning your fruits effectively can maximize their health benefits. A good method to wash your fruit involves creating a baking soda solution. Simply fill a bowl with cold water, add about 1/2 cup of vinegar, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of baking soda, mix it well, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly afterward and enjoy your clean fruits! Research indicates that baking soda can significantly diminish pesticide residues on fruit surfaces, while vinegar offers antimicrobial properties to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses. If you find that using baking soda and vinegar together leads to confusion over their interaction, consider using each ingredient separately. Water alone is also a great alternative to rinse off dirt and bacteria. This method not only cleanses your fruits but ensures that you and your loved ones can enjoy them safely and healthily. Remember, regular washing of all produce, regardless of whether you plan to peel them or not, is essential in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Incorporate these practices into your routine and make healthy habits a part of your daily life!

Don’t mix the baking soda and vinegar it neutralizes it. Do a baking soda wash first then rinse and repeat with vinegar if you want. Or vise versa. Just don’t mix it because it makes both ineffective
