Fruit and Vegetable Wash
Citrus Magic, Veggie Wash, 16 fl oz (473 ml) - $6.99

Spray in a convenient spray bottle.
I liked the size, that it’s not a liter bandura that you don’t know which box to put in. This is a neat bottle with a beautiful design.
The product has a light citrus scent.
Consistency like soapy water, but doesn’t produce much foam.
It also seemed to me very concentrated (even in comparison with the similar one from Attitude (wrote)), i.e. This is a real solution, not just water. 1 spray is enough to wash several apples, because it is distributed throughout the fruit very well, completely enveloping the surface. After rinsing off, there is nothing left of the product - no smell, no film.

Mode of application shown on the packaging: spray the product onto the fruit/vegetable, hold for 20-30 seconds, rinse with water. You can mix with water and soak fruits/vegetables, herbs, berries, even strawberries in this solution. That's what I do.
It contains no harmful substances: phosphates, phthalates, harmful preservatives and SLS. But there are real soft surfactants (due to which the product has a cleansing effect), plant extracts and other auxiliary additives. The product promises to remove waxes and other agricultural chemicals from food.

I will show the result clearly, using the example of cherries purchased at the market.
I poured it into the tray and filled it with water to wash it, even bubbling a little. The photo shows that the cherries seem to be absolutely clean, the water is clear...

I drained the water, sprayed Citrus Magic on the cherries, held it for half a minute, and poured water on top.
The result is completely different... You see how much wax has been washed away (and it is not yet known what) from the surface of the seemingly “clean” cherry...

And cherries too :)

By the way, if you simply spray Citrus Magic into a glass of clean water, there will be no film or streaks on the surface, i.e. all the nastiness that is visible in the photo above is precisely from the surface of the fruit, which we eat if we don’t wash it well with special products! Well, do you still think that you don’t need such funds?))

If recently any industrial product for washing fruits and vegetables caused concern, today the popularity of these drugs is rapidly growing. Unique products have no less, and perhaps more, efficiency compared to traditional products. Moreover, they consist exclusively of edible components, which, even in significant quantities, will not have any effect. negative impact on the state of the body.

Contrary to popular belief, dishwashing liquids and gels are absolutely not suitable for washing fruits, vegetables and herbs. They cannot be washed completely, which leads to a distortion of the taste of food components.

Basic rules for processing fruits, herbs and vegetables before eating or cooking

Before washing fruits and vegetables with the chosen product, it is necessary to carry out high-quality pre-treatment. It is especially relevant when using store-bought products; if the products were collected from the garden, then a significant part of the manipulations can be abandoned.

Imported components are usually coated with natural waxes and paraffins. If you do not get rid of them, then the vegetable and fruit washing product will not achieve its purpose and will not give the expected effect. For this reason, it is recommended to first rinse the elements thoroughly under running water using a soft brush.

If the products are intended for children, then it is better to get rid of the thick peel. But this does not mean that in this case it is not necessary to process and clean the ingredients.
After removing the peel from the vegetables, you need to evaluate the condition of the pulp. Presence yellow spots indicates an excess of nitrate levels, gray spots indicate the beginning of the rotting process. In both cases, it is better to refuse to eat vegetables or at least completely remove problem areas. In addition, the blanks can be soaked in cold salt water for 24 hours. True, this will also reduce the number of useful components.
Root vegetables with traces of soil are first soaked in warm water, then cleaned of dirt, and only after that are they rinsed and processed.
Onions also need to be washed! First, cut off the bottom and remove the dry husks, then wash it under running water. cold water.
Be sure to scald citrus fruits with boiling water, removing surface preservatives. After this, wash in cold water.
All other fruits are washed under cold running water with soap or special means using a brush.
A gentle shower is recommended for the grapes, then it will not deteriorate, while undergoing the necessary cleaning.
It is not customary to wash white cabbage; spoiled leaves are simply cut off and the stalk is removed.
Greens must be removed from roots and damaged leaves.

You need to consume or cook the ingredients immediately after cleaning, this will preserve the beneficial components in them to the maximum. Immediately after the protective layer is removed from the surface of the food, the process of spoilage begins, rapidly reducing the level of vitamins and minerals.

Affordable and safe folk remedies based on natural products

If you don’t trust household, albeit edible, chemicals, you can then traditionally wash fruits and vegetables with one of the following products:

Weak vinegar solution. Dilute apple or white vinegar with cold water (take the ingredients in equal quantities). We use it to thoroughly process questionable ingredients, then rinse thoroughly under running water for several minutes. The product helps not only to destroy pathogenic bacteria, but also to eliminate the remains of the wax coating.
Lemon juice with soda. For a glass of cold water, take a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice And baking soda. Mix all the ingredients, pour the resulting mass into a spray bottle and use it as a spray. Apply the composition to the product, wait a couple of minutes and rinse under running water. The drug efficiently removes dirt and kills bacteria. The remaining liquid can be safely stored in the refrigerator.

If after cleaning you thoroughly rinse the ingredient under running water, its taste will not change. The main thing is not to overexpose the working composition on the surface of the elements so that it does not have time to penetrate under the skin.

Effective professional preparations, their features and rules of use

Choosing suitable remedy For washing fruits and vegetables, you should pay attention to the following products:

Bentley Organic. This composition is a set of natural acids - citric, lactic, malic, with the addition of aloe vera. These components have a pronounced antibacterial and antimicrobial effect, due to which neutralization occurs up to 100% harmful components.
. Aloe vera, citrus essential oils, plant extracts and emulsifiers, as well as glycerin are the basis of this product, which allows you to clean the surface of fruits and vegetables 100 times better than ordinary water.
Mako Clean. Its composition is similar to the first product, but costs much less. The reason is its domestic origin, which in no way detracts from it positive qualities and does not reduce efficiency.
The best option for those who like to snack on fruits and vegetables while outside the home. These are very convenient wipes soaked in a mixture of citric acid, sodium citrate, sea salt, vegetable glycerin and detergent components of natural origin. You just need to thoroughly wipe the food product to remove dirt, germs and wax from its surface. In this case, it is not necessary to wash the fruit or vegetable additionally.
Sodasan. Peculiar liquid soap , which is applied to the surface of food components and then washed off big amount water. In addition to traditional fruit acids it contains soda, saponified vegetable oils

and grapefruit extract, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the product. It is recommended to be used for pre-treatment of watermelon and melon peels.

Bentley Organic Fruit Wash

The use of these drugs occurs according to the same scheme. Dissolve a few drops of the product in water, lower the food ingredients there for no more than half a minute, wash and rinse under running water. Due to the nature of their composition, detergents have a very sour taste, so they need to be washed off as thoroughly as possible.

Before washing fruits and vegetables with one of the listed products, you need to make sure that everyone in your household is not allergic to their components. To do this, just drop a little of the composition on the skin. This will not cause serious consequences, and it will help to identify intolerance.

Many housewives refuse professional medications when they see their rather high price. In fact, most products are concentrates and even with regular use they are used up very slowly. One bottle of the product will be enough for several months.

In summer, the risk of intestinal disorders increases - often the cause is poorly washed vegetables and fruits.

You can wash one apple for 5 minutes, scald cucumbers with boiling water, but the most convenient way to clean food is to use environmentally friendly products specially designed for this, which will help get rid of germs quickly and effectively.

Such cleaners are available in different formats - we present an overview of the most convenient of them.

Mako Clean This is perhaps one of the most famous brands , specializing specifically in products for washing vegetables and fruits. The Russian company MaKo offers a whole line of products in a variety of formats: sprays, concentrates, liquid products

Products for washing fruits and vegetables have long ceased to be a whim, having become an urgent necessity. If earlier we only washed away dirt, bugs and what developed and multiplied thanks to all this (did this really ever happen?!), now we must get rid of shipping wax, pesticides and who knows what else, unknown to the average person, but even more formidable and harmful.

Nowadays, it's no problem to buy a fruit and vegetable wash, but it's also not a problem to make your own, although it will probably take a few extra seconds. As a reward, you will receive a completely transparent list of ingredients that you can be confident are safe.

There are two ways to wash fruits and vegetables: soaking and direct application by repeatedly spraying and rubbing the affected object. I prefer the first one. Why?

Soaking is a process that occurs without your direct participation, which is not a dream for a lazy person. The second method is optimal if you need to wash a couple of apples or pears. Then your efforts to prepare the bath will not be worth it. But, again, spraying will not work if it is a bunch of grapes or a handful of berries. So I vote for baths.

It should immediately be noted that washing fruits and vegetables significantly reduces their shelf life. So don’t be lazy, wash them immediately before use. Otherwise, they need to be completely dried, then moved to the refrigerator, but they should not be tested for a week's strength.

The active ingredients to destroy anything and everything that our body should not consume are vinegar, salt and citric acid. Let's leave the soda in reserve.

Vinegar- cheap, readily available and safe ingredient, - contains acetic acid, which is responsible for the destruction of bacteria, mold and wax breakdown. According to the manufacturers, it is capable of destroying 98 percent of bacteria.

Lemon contains citric acid, its slight drawback is that it is not sold with a mark on the percentage of this very acid, so doubts always remain. But it comes in handy when vinegar, due to its specific smell, is undesirable.

Salt well known to us as a preservative. And she would not have achieved this position if her participation in the destruction of bacteria was insignificant, would it?

Any of the options below can be used as a bath or as a spray bottle filler. In the second case, the exposure time is 20–30 seconds. After any treatment, fruits and vegetables should be rinsed under cool water.

200 ml water
70 ml vinegar (4.5 tbsp)
Soaking time varies from 10 to 20 minutes. It wouldn't hurt to stir them a couple of times.

200 ml water
30–40 g salt
Soaking time 10–15 minutes. Suitable for products that do not have thick skin, such as lettuce, greens, cabbage, etc., if the smell of vinegar bothers you.

200 ml water
Half a lemon
Soaking time is 5–15 minutes (depending on the roughness of the skin). Suitable for berries where neither the smell of vinegar nor pickling is acceptable.

Active ingredients can be combined.
