Wash vegetables thoroughly by soaking in salt water
One of the most common methods is to use salt to wash fruits and vegetables. This is one of the most effective alternatives to washing fruit with vinegar. Illustration You can use iodized salt or granular salt as well. Mix the salt in the right amount of water, stir to dissolve the salt completely. Then let the vegetables and fruits soak for about 10 minutes and then take out, rinse with water. Note: This method should not be applied to thin-skinned fruits as this will damage the fruit. Wash the vegetables thoroughly by adding vinegar and lemon juice The experts point out that vinegar and lemon act as antiseptics and can also help remove wax or any pesticide left on the peel. Illustration Grapefruit seed extract is a potent anti-microbial as well as anti-fungal agent. Since grapefruit seed extract is a bit bitter and can be irritating, a whole large bottle of water spray only needs to use a small amount of about 10 drops. Use 1/2 to 2 glasses of water; 2 tablespoons of white vinegar; 2 teaspoons of lemon juice; 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract (optional) Let’s mix together and pour into a spray bottle. Spray on fruits and vegetables (except mushrooms) and let stand for a few minutes. Use your hands to gently rub if necessary then rinse.
