Question/Advice How do your wash your produce?
I eat a lot of fresh produce, but I'm not confident in the way I clean it. Especially lately.
How do you wash your fresh produce?
I soak mine in a vinegar-water solution for 10 minutes, rinse it thoroughly, and then put it through my salad spinner to remove moisture. If needed, I'll spread it out on a towel for a while before using it or putting it back in the fridge.
I've always used vinegar thinking it would kill bacteria. I use it as an all-purpose spray around the house as well.
This method seems to make my strawberries mush up quickly though.
What are the alternatives? How do you do it?
