Ingredients
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
To Make the Wash
- Combine ingredients in a spray bottle and shake to combine.
To Clean Your Produce
- Place your produce in a colander in the sink. Spray with produce wash and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Rinse with cold water. If fruit has a firm skin or a peel like citrus or bananas, scrub with a produce brush.
- Pat dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner, and let air dry completely before storing in the fridge.
Notes
- Wash is not recommended for some produce like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and leafy green veggies like kale and spinach leaves. For these items, wash with only diluted lemon juice. Omit the vinegar, as the berries and leafy greens will absorb the flavor of the vinegar.
