It's good to wash store bought fruits and veggies with more than just water. Why? Because most store bought fruits and veggies are covered with bacteria, residue from pesticides, and a film that's all kinds of gross-ness. Unless you're buying organic, you'll wanna use a fruit and veggie wash. The kind you get at the store is crazy expensive, so I started making my own once I read about all the not-so-healthy stuff on the healthy foods I feed my family.

My tried and true homemade fruit and veggie wash is simple and inexpensive as can be. I mix equal parts water and white vinegar. That's it. Hard skinned fruits get a light spray and wipe while soft skinned fruits get a minute soak and light wash. It's easy and effective. The acid in the vinegar kills all the gross junk listed above and I don't spend a fortune making sure my family isn't ingesting gross-ness.
