Last week a local grocery store had their fuji apples on sale for 97 cents a pound. Although I usually select organic produce, I went ahead and purchased a bunch of the apples. Thanks to one of my nieces, I learned about the all natural "Veggie Wash" and I use it on non-organic produce. It's made with organic citrus and natural ingredients, and according to the package, "safely removes waxes, chemicals, and soil."I still prefer purchasing organic, but when a sale price is too good to resist, I think washing the produce (not just rinsing) is a good alternative.
That's especially important for apples, which are often waxed. A little petroleum anyone? Where do you buy your veggie wash?
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking that...since I totally forgot to include that information in my post. I bought it at Sunflower Market. Most health food or whole food stores should carry it. And it's available on-line. I provided the link (in my post) to their website.
