Washing Fruit And Veg
85 Answers
How do you wash soft fruit like raspberries, blackberries, blueberries etc? Do you just rinse under water? How do you wash fruit in general that you'd normally eat with skin like apples, pears etc., and veg for that matter.
Given the recent fears over contaminated frozen veg and watching Alice Beer earlier on This Morning advising everyone to wash all fruit and veg before use it got me thinking that maybe water isn't enough.
Someone once told me that they wash berries in a bicarb and water solution.

Eww, I'll take my chances with the soil contamination, if you have a good immune system there's nothing to wrry about tbh, as I said I'm never ill, mind you I used to eat worms as little kid so a bit of soil is the last of my troubles :/

Sivam. Fairy Antibacterial washing liquid. Kills all bacteria, pesticides, gets rid of was, human animal excrement, tapeworms, bugs and is right by the sink and is only a pound, further more I’m happy to serve my fruit and veg to kids, pregnant women, the elderly, the sick and would bet that if I had a catering business my customers and clients would be happy with my hygiene methods over a competetor who used just cold water or didn’t was everything.
