Because the environment is important to you...
For Safe Fruit and Vegetable Handling:
Clean your hands, cutting boards, and kitchen tools with hot, soapy water and rinse well before and after handling your fruits and vegetables.
Soak garden produce in cool water and rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Commercial vegetable cleaning products are available in supermarkets to help free soil residues from your produce. These products work well with leafy vegetables.
Vinegar can also be used for cleaning produce. Scrub firm fruits and root crops with a vegetable-cleaning brush to remove dust and dirt before peeling or eating.
Peel root crops like carrots, rutabagas, radishes, and turnips.
Wash berry fruits like strawberries and blackberries, and remove the "caps" (the tops of the berries where the stem and leaves attach).
