Washing Fruit



Recommended Posts

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!

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?

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 them.

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.< /p>

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.

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
