Ensuring your family's health is critical when choosing and consuming fresh, nutritious and contamination-free food. In this article, we present precious tips for cleaning fruits and vegetables, ensuring a healthy diet for you and your family.
1. Careful choice:
Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables, choosing those that are vibrant in appearance and free of bruises or signs of deterioration. The initial quality of food is essential for its durability.
2. Wash your hands thoroughly:
Before starting the food hygiene process, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, ensuring they are free of impurities and bacteria.
3. Initial cleaning:
In a clean sink, pour enough potable water to cover the fruits and vegetables. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar to every gallon of water. Vinegar is an excellent ally in removing pesticide residues.
4. Dip and Shake:
Place the food in the prepared solution and let it soak for approximately 15 minutes. During this period, shake gently so that all surfaces are reached by the solution.
5. Rinse thoroughly:
After the soaking time, rinse the fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water, ensuring that all vinegar residues are removed.
6. Dry properly:
Use absorbent paper or a clean cloth to completely dry the food before individually wrapping it. Moisture can accelerate deterioration.
7. Pack and store carefully:
Use plastic film or the ALPFILM PROTECT zip lock bag to pack each fruit or vegetable preferably individually. This practice prevents cross-contamination and protects food from possible external sources of contamination. Keep them in the fridge, in suitable containers, to prevent the proliferation of bacteria and preserve the quality of the food for a longer time, also avoiding humidity that accelerates deterioration.
