Tips to wash fruits and vegetables:
Wash your hands first
Washing your hands thoroughly with soap before washing fruits or vegetables is an effective way to clean the bacteria present in your hands and prevent them from spreading.
Use a brush
Washing the fruits and vegetables with a vegetable brush is an effective way to clean them. This will help to remove any bacteria present on the fruit and vegetable.
Use paper towels
After washing the fruits and vegetables thoroughly with water, wrap them in a paper towel for some time. This will also dry up the water and reduce bacteria build-up.
Clean your chopping board and knife
Cut fruits and vegetables with clean, sharp knives on chopping boards. Wipe down the chopping board and knife after every use to remove any bacteria present.
Wash after peeling
After washing, peel the vegetables and fruits and then wash them again. Additionally, it is recommended not to wash vegetables and fruits after cutting as this removes their nutrients.
