Veggie / Fruit Wash - What Is That?

Buying organic fruits and vegetables is optimal, but it can be expensive. While I still recommend buying organic when you can (and I have a list on which ones are best to buy organic) using a veggie wash on your conventional produce is a great alternative. There are many options out there, but an affordable one I love is at Trader Joe’s. Don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you, don’t worry. Most of the large grocers sell them.

You can also always make your own! Here’s a recipe using apple cider vinegar and distilled or filtered water. Combine equal parts, put in a spray bottle (glass bottle preferred), and spritz on your fruits and vegetables. Scrub with a natural bristle brush reserved only for cleaning your produce. Rinse with water.
