| You know that you're supposed to clean all fruits and vegetables before consumption, but do you know the best way to do this? While everyone has different theories on which is the best method, we, at Public Kitchen Supply would like to share some of our favorite methods. There are a couple different methods that you want to decide between. It depends on what you have available in your kitchen, which you think cleans best, and what type of fruit or vegetable you are cleaning. |
| First, let's debunk a thought process some people have. Some people feel that they do not need to clean fruits or vegetables that have an outer layer that you don't eat. For example: cantaloupe, oranges, and avocados. All three of these have outer shells that you do not ingest. Because these are thrown away, rather than eaten, people think that you don't need to wash the outside layer. On the contrary though, you still do need to wash these just as much as those that you do ingest like tomatoes or apples because as you cut through the outside, whatever bacteria is on this layer gets transferred into the part that is eaten, contamination your food. Make sure you wash all of the fresh vegetables and fruits you get, regardless of where you get them from. |
