The Perfect Non-Toxic, Safe Produce Wash
By Marilee Nelson |
With warmer weather comes fresh, locally-grown produce, and we're ALL for that. Whether you get your veggies from the farmer’s market, backyard garden, or local grocery store, rinsing them with Branch Basics ensures you're feeding your family the best nature provides!
Unfortunately, conventionally-grown goods are sprayed with chemical-laden pesticides, so soaking them in BB is of utmost importance as it helps break down harmful chemicals that can hurt our bodies.
Even organically grown produce comes into contact with insects, birds, dirt, pollution, and more, so we suggest giving all of your produce a quick BB rinse.
Simple Steps To Wash Produce
Soaking method:
- Fill up your sink with water and add 1 teaspoon of Branch Basics Concentrate.
- Add the fresh produce and let it soak.
- After about 10 minutes, take out the produce* and rinse items with clean water.
- Let produce air dry on dish towels.
- *Make sure to pull the produce out of the water before you drain the sink so it is not re-contaminated by the dirt that has accumulated at the bottom.
Spray method:
- If you don't want to soak your produce, you can also use Branch Basics All-Purpose as a produce spray.
- Spray each item of produce with Branch Basics, wait approximately 30 seconds and rinse with clean water.
- Let produce air dry on dish towels.
A few simple steps can go a long way. Enjoy your summer produce!
