Water is still the Best Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Wash

[JackLikesFood]

Here's an interesting article about kitchen cleanliness:

Fresh produce will have microbes from the soil, possibly coliform from food handlers, and pesticide residues, so washing with running tap water is recommended. Water removes 90% of pesticide residues, and with the use of a vegetable brush to remove the dirt, you won't really need commercial washes anymore.

Hope you enjoy it.

Do most of you cook with filtered or bottled water, or just use unfiltered tap water?

Unless it involves a chemical reaction with the chlorine in the water, I generally just use tap water.
