Washing Veggies..

Veggies look so green and beautiful when you look at them on the veggie shelves in the grocery store. I personally feel that they use a "Veggie Wash" or a "Clean Veggie spray".. and I'm sure these contain chemicals.. even if doesn't have the spray, I think we need to wash the veggies very well.

Here are a few ways to wash the veggies to ensure that it is completely clean, and free of any bacteria and dirt.

- Wash with Hot Tap Water and then with Cold Tap water
- Add 4-5 table spoons of Lime Juice to a pail of water and soak the veggies for about 4-5 minutes. Rinse in hot tap water, and then cold water.
- Add 1/2 to 1 cup of white vinegar to a pail of water and soak the veggies for about 4-5 minutes. Rinse in hot tap water, and then cold water.
- You can also soak the veggies in Boiling water for 1 to 5 minutes and then rinse in cold tap water
