RINSE YOUR FRUITS AND VEGGIES
Eating fruits and veggies is an important part of living a healthy lifestyle. They’re packed with healthy phytonutrients, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health.
Experts agree that rinsing or washing fruits and vegetables is an effective way to remove physical contaminants like dirt, pebbles, insects, and other lingering debris. Rinsing or washing fruits and vegetables also helps remove microorganisms capable of causing harm. From the farm to your table, fruit and veggies can pick up unwanted contaminants.
The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends washing or rinsing produce to help prevent food-borne illness. Stay healthy! Eat fresh fruits and veggies, just rinse or wash them first
