Every year, just in time for you to start getting seasonal yearnings for more fruits and veggies, they release the "dirty dozen" list of produce that has the most pesticides. While I know organic produce still uses some deterrents, I do try to buy organic when possible for produce and as much as possible for everything else too. From eggs to meat to baking ingredients.
So, that got me wondering...
Do you buy organic? If not, do you wash your produce with a solution or run it under water and hope for the best?

Just a quick water rinse
ReplyDeleteI try to get the organic green lettuce for my salad and always wash it really well, with at least 2 good rinses and soaks, in the salad spinner. Even some of the pre-washed lettuce I will put an extra rinse on myself because I don't trust machines to do that properly.
ReplyDeleteRegular produce with a water rinse. I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel.
ReplyDeleteGenerally, I'm too cheap to buy organic. So many of my fruits and veggies need to be imported and by the time you put on the premium for organic (if it is available) I can't justify the expense. And when it comes to washing, I'm a run it under the water and hope for the best kind of girl. A little dirt can do you good. :)
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the fruit if I buy organic or not. I rinse everything anyway... but then wonder what's in the water. LOL
