Musings on anything. |
| Today's nutrition class was a gross out. I've always washed my produce with plain water to remove sand, etc., I know a lot of people touch the tomatoes, apples, and other lose products, so I'm conscious of germs. However, I found out water is not enough. Some people rinse in vinegar first, then several rinses of water to get rid of the vinegar. Some people mix baking soda in. This breaks down the wax on fruit and cucumbers. It's a start about hand prints. There are also bugs on fresh broccoli, especially from farmers markets. And grapes have a film on them. Bananas have gnats living in the top of the peel, but I think I've heard that before. If you don't like the idea of vinegar on your fruits and veggies, there are actually produce washes available in the produce department. My guess is that vinegar is cheaper. Apparently, I've been consuming a little wax and many germs despite rinsing everything first. I prefer fresh to canned or frozen, but I might rethink that. Yuk. |
