Washing fresh fruits and vegetables is no longer an option. With the tons of chemicals and pesticides that are used in the agriculture industry nowadays, we can never be too sure about safely consuming fruits and vegetables. There are quite a few chemicals that will not be easily washed off with just water alone. Most fruit and vegetable washes available commercially are also made of various chemicals – adding only to what we wish to remove from the fruits and vegetables about to be eaten. Here is a natural homemade fruit and homemade vegetable wash recipe that you can try making at home.This recipe does not call for any harmful substance or chemicals so it is quite safe to use even for fruits and vegetables intended to be consumed fresh or uncooked.
What you’ll need:
- One lemon
- Vinegar
- Water
- Empty spray bottle
Simply prepare all the ingredients and materials needed and start making the fruit and vegetable wash. First, squeeze out the juice of one lemon and pour it onto the empty spray bottle.
