For fresh produce I use filtered tap water. Or filtered tap water with a splash of vinegar. For berries & grapes, I wash in filtered water, dry on clean dish towels, and store in sealed glass jars. For fruits with a skin or root veggies, filtered tap water and a soft veggie scrub brush (goes through the dishwasher on every cycle.)
For frozen produce, I guess I just trust fate - they go into smoothies or salads untouched.
This has been my process for over 50 years, and I'm still here!
FYI - I eat fresh produce, including salads from my garden, friends and neighbors and farmers' markets.
I fall into the category my ID doc describes as laissez faire - I've been eating from the same soil all my life, so I assume it's not going to kill me. So far, it hasn't been an issue for me, so I haven't added the burden of worrying about it to my life.
Sue-
Lucky you: "FYI - I eat fresh produce, including salads from my garden, friends and neighbors."
Are you filtering via a whole house system or another way of filtering the tap water?
Sue, what type and brand did you decide on? Any suggestions after all you had to do to decide the type and brand?
With doing vinegar do we rinse again after the vinegar rinse????
Thanks,
Barbara
