DIY Fruit and Veggie Wash; and Free Printable Label

Our recent move from the city to the country already has me trying all kinds of “new things” from raising baby chicks to planting a countless numbers of seeds for our soon to be garden. That is if/when the weather reaches above 50 degrees….I know it’s coming (eventually) 😉

Whether you grown your own fruits and veggies, purchase from a farmers market, or the local grocery store your produce requires a good washing before consumption.

Today I’m (re)sharing one of my long time favorite recipes —

You will need;

1 empty spray bottle (a rinsed out previously used one works great as long as there were no harmful chemicals in it first or check your local dollar store)

Funnel

1 C water

1 C vinegar

2 Tbs. Baking Soda

2 Tbs. Lemon Juice

How To; 
Mix the water and vinegar together in a liquid measuring cup.

Add the 2 T baking soda to the bottom of the water bottle

Using the funnel gradually pour the vinegar/water mixture into the water bottle.

Add lemon juice

Gently swirl the bottle around releasing all gasses

When washing fruit or veggies simply spray with prepared wash and let sit 5 minutes.

Gently rub/scrub produce and rinse under cool water.
