So yesterday we discussed that although it is best to eat organically or locally grown, it is still better to eat commercially grown produce than to not eat any at all. So besides following the Dirty Dozen/Clean 15 how else might you minimize the amount of pesticides consumed? Tip #2: Use Apple Cider Vinegar to wash your produce prior to eating. ACV is antibacterial, anti fungal and antiviral. So not only will it help eliminate some of the surface pesticides, it will also effectively clean off everyone elses cough, sneeze & various other nasty germs that could be found on your produce. I usually just put all of my fruits/veggies into a freshly cleaned sink, fill with water, add a cup of ACV, and let sit for a while. (I usually let them sit for anywhere from 15-30 mins and spin or dunk them occasionally to ensure full coverage) I then drain, scrub with a scrub brush, rinse and place on a clean towel to dry.
