With the number of pesticides used on our crops these days, it’s essential to thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables when you bring them home from the store. To completely clean produce and make it safe to eat, use apple cider vinegar! ACV will kill off any bacteria on your fruits and veggies as well as prevent foodborne illness. It can also help get rid of chemical residue and reduce your exposure to pesticides. Dilute one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in one cup of water and add your produce. Let it soak for about 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Make sure to stir the mixture around to get the dirt off. Not only does this method clean your fruits and vegetables, but it can also help them last longer in your fridge.
