HOMEMADE VEGETABLE WASH/PRESERVER THAT WORKS! (SPRAY OR SOAK)



Homemade Vegetable Wash/Preserver That Works! (Spray or Soak) image

I have been using this for years don't know why I never thought of posting it here on the site earlier, this really works and works very well! no chemicals 100% natural and will remove dust and dirt and kill any little bugs and bacteria not to mention it costs only pennies to make and when used as a soak it will help preserve your veggies so that they will last quite a lot longer --- there is really no servings to this recipe so of coarse the serving amount is only estimated --- because of the fresh lemon juice any unused spray may be refrigerated until used again, I just usually use up the 1 cup and then discard the rest --- the exact amounts do not really matter a little more will not hurt, I really don't even bother to measure I just eyeball everything --- if you are using a smaller bowl then reduce the vinegar to 2 tablespoons and salt to 1 tablespoon it will work just as well :)

Time 5m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons salt

Steps:

  • For the spray; put all ingredients into a spray bottle (be careful as it will foam up) shake gently to mix, then spray on veggies or fruit allow to sit for about 2-5 minutes then rinse under cold water.
  • For soak; fill a clean sink or a large basin with cold water; add in vinegar and salt, then swish around with hands (you may also do this in a large bowl).
  • Place the fruit and/or veggies in and allow to sit for 25-30 minutes although I have even left soaking for over an hour (this will not affect the flavor at all, the vinegar cleans and the salt draws out any little bugs, dirt and other small unwanted things, it also will remove some of the wax.
  • Rinse under cold water and dry.

  • Water. To restate what the University of Maine and the FDA advise, just use water. A soak and a good scrub, using a scrub brush like this one, will do the job.
  • White Vinegar. Using white vinegar to clean produce is one of the most popular methods, and for good reason. It’s so easy! Because almost every home has white vinegar, it is an excellent option for all sorts of cleaning purposes.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar. If apple cider vinegar can detox the body, be used to condition your hair and even remove moles, no wonder we use it to wash our produce.
  • Salt. I would never have thought to use salt in a DIY produce wash, but this article claims that salt is a natural disinfectant that helps to eliminate pesticide residue!
  • Peel and Trim. Now this isn’t exactly a vegetable wash, but if your concern is the pesticide residue on the outside of the produce, then peeling and trimming the produce can take care of that!
  • Hydrogen Peroxide. This method was recommended to me by a reader, but upon further searching, it seems to be fairly popular! Step 1. Combine 1 Tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 gallon of water.
  • Bleach. This isn’t my top recommended method, for obvious reasons, but also because we use a homemade bleach alternative instead of traditional bleach in the laundry – so I don’t even have bleach in the house!
  • Citrus Essential Oils. Enzymes in citrus essential oils (orange, lemon, grapefruit, etc.) contain monoterpenes, which have the ability to dissolve petroleum-based substances.
  • Castile Soap. To wash produce using castile soap and essential oils: Step 1. Combine 1 teaspoon castile soap + 7 drops citrus essential oil + 1 gallon of water.
