The last 2-3 years we have heard so much about people getting sick and some dying because of diseases they caught from their fruits and vegetables.

Which has left me to wonder……

DOES ANYONE IN AMERICA WASH THEIR FOOD BEFORE THEY EAT IT??

I understand that the population cant control contracting something from food they eat at a Fast Food Chain or a Restaurant in general but cant we control our own destiny by paying attention to details of things we bring in our homes and feed our families??

Here is an easy way to take an extra step in preparing your fruits and vegetables before serving them.

Items Needed:

1) Large Bowl
2) Clean Empty Spray Bottle (can find these in any local dollar store)
3) 1 Lemon (squeezed)
4) White Vinegar
5) Water (preferably spring but Tap will do)
6) Strainer or Colander
Instructions:
Take your fruit and or vegetables and place them in Large Bowl.
Open Clean empty Spray bottle and pour in 1cup Water, 2Tbsp Vinegar, 2Tbsp Lemon Juice.
Spray your fruit and or vegetables that are in Large Bowl thoroughly and allow to sit for 3-5 minutes.
After sitting transfer fruits and or vegetables into strainer/colander in sink and wash well with COLD water only.

My family and I have continued to eat Tomatoes thru the latest crisis and have had no trouble at all.
We also take an extra step when it comes to already prepared produce, we still give it a quick wash.
I cant promise that this will completely prevent disease but I can guarantee by taking these extra steps you will less likely contract a food borne illness.

Happy eating,
