One of the first things I needed to know was "what" I was putting in my body. The list of bad things that have gone into and on my body are kinda scary. Looking at this list of most contaminated foods, I see many that I have just in the last few months added into my diet on a daily basis. Now I make sure to clean my fruits and veggies very well. And in keeping with my new healthy life style, I wanted to make sure that what I use to wash them with was safe too... and green. Gotta remember to take care of the planet too!! And I want to do this as cheaply as possible. Living a healthy lifestyle can really get expensive. So I found a recipe to make my veggie wash at home.
Fruit and Veggie wash:
1 cup of water
1 cup of white vinegar
2 tbsp baking soda
2 tbsp lemon juice
Make sure you mix this in a big container because when you mix the vinegar and baking soda it will fizz, expand and run all over the place! Once it stops fizzing you can put it in a clean spray bottle. I used an empty pine sol spray bottle (after I had cleaned it very very well) that I was going to put in the recycle bin! Spray your fruits and veggies with this wash and let sit for 15 mins then rinse well!
