Washing Fruit

Happy TGIF and thank you getting us back on line.

I do a few other blogs/web sites about WLS. One person said when you buy grapes and apples to fill the sink/bowl with Water and vinegar. The water will turn very dirty but they clean up nicely. I just washed grapes and the water was gross. Better that, than eating all that dirt that I have been doing for many years. I always thought I washed my fruit good, guess not.

Enjoy your weekend and clean fruits.

    Washing your fruit in Water and vinegar is also supposed to help your fruit to last longer as well. Especially berries. Happy Friday to you as well!

    I washed off the vinegar and dirty water. The grapes tasted great. I was told that also it prolongs the life of the fruit. The person who posted it told me also to do it to berries but I don't eat

  • Gotta wash off the pesticides from our store-bought fruits and veggies! We grow some stuff here but whatever we buy -- even the organic produce -- gets a bath when it comes into the house.

Thanks for that tip, I've always washed my fruit and veggies in hot soapy water before eating them. I am clean freak ..LOL...I can't stand getting sick! But I've never heard of the vinegar and water, seems like the vinegar would change the taste?

The person I do Face Book recipes with posted it. She said that strawberries last for a few weeks. You fill the sink and add 1 cup of vinegar. I used a large bowl and only soaked them for about 5 minutes, if that. She said 10 minutes. But the Water turned very dirty which is a good thing for cleaning fruit.

How are you feeling/doing? Stay warm. It is cold here so you must be colder.
