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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
