Clean Produce

The reason why it’s crucial to clean vegetables and fruits before eating is because of the process they’ve gone through before getting to your hands. They have been subjected to pesticides and other growth-promoting compounds and handled by several people after harvesting.

Cleaning dissolves the wax coating most produce has, and this gets rid of any bacteria or pesticide residue that’s still on them. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the recommended solutions to use to clean fruits and veggies. Use half part water and half peroxide solution to spray them. Rinse with clean water afterward and allow them to dry.
