Fresh Fruit Wash Solution

34 Comments

Using this Homemade Fresh Fruit Wash Solution is a great way to help in killing bacteria, mold spores and to wash away any leftover chemicals or pesticides. This will also help to keep the fruit fresh longer. If you buy organic your fruit may not have any pesticides or chemicals, but it can still have unwanted mold spores or bacteria.

  2. What a brilliant and easy way to wash your fruit. My dad used to rinse and wash the fruit in salt water but I can see vinegar doing the trick too. I will admit I just two quick washes in water cuz I’m always in a rush in the mornings. 😊😆

  10. This works great with blueberries, but I find that strawberries and blackberries are too fragile for washing ahead like that. Have you had any problems with that?

    • I have always been paranoid about buying things like grapes where everyone touches them. This makes me feel like I am not eating what was on other peoples hands, especially since Covid. Thank you Linda❤️

      • I have not bought grapes in years, even if they are in those bags, as the bags were still put there by people and besides, all the black widow spiders. I’ll eat what you peel off – otherwise, not comfortable with it.
