Make your own veggie spray cleaner
Clean Your Vegetables!
Adapted from Total Renewal: 7 Key Steps to Resilience, Vitality & Long-Term Health, by Frank Lipman, M.D. (Jeremy Tarcher, Putnam, 2003).
Simple Solution
Food-borne illness derived from contaminated produce is the largest source of food poisoning.
Susan Sumner, a food scientist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, developed an effective disinfecting procedure using white vinegar (or cider vinegar) and 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (the same as found at the drugstore). These ingredients are
completely nontoxic and inexpensive and work not only on fruit and vegetables but can be used to sanitize counters and preparation surfaces, including wooden cutting boards, as well.
Here are the very simple directions for using these ingredients effectively:
Buy 2 spray bottles and label each accordingly, putting the vinegar into one bottle and the hydrogen peroxide into the other.
1. Spray your produce or work surface thoroughly first with vinegar and let set for 30 sec. then spray with the hydrogen peroxide.
2. After about another 30 sec, rinse the produce under running water or wipe the surface with a clean wet cloth and then dry.
