Question:
How do you clean your vegetables and fruits before preparing them? Do you wash them with something special? Especially berries.
— Rhonda Tapply
Answer:
I just use water. I know there are all kinds of solutions out in the world. I will tell you that when I travel to Central America and I eat fresh fruit the cook where I stay cleans everything with a few drops of bleach and water. I never do that. So I just use water but the key is not in cleaning them. The real key is drying them off really well. So whether you put it in a spinner or whether you dry it in a towel or anything else like that, but drying is probably the most key and crucial thing. So hope that's helpful to you.
