Fruit and veg washes
Hello, I wanted to ask the general opinion about fruit and veg washes. (I guess there are a couple of natural brands in Spinneys) Do they really make a difference? Good to use them? Any considerations?Thank you

Hi – I’m not a fan of the commercial produce washes. The main reason being that studies have shown that good old vinegar or baking soda can be even more effective than many of these commercial varieties. I don’t have the studies saved, but remember doing the research and coming across a few that came to that conclusion.
If you haven’t seen it already, here’s my Fruit & Veggie Wash recipe handout in the Resources section of the library.
Hope this helps!

thank you yes happy to hear that such simple solutions are just as effective, and is one less plastic bottle (I buy vinegar in glass)
