fruits & veg soak

Lets be realistic here, as much as I would love to buy all our produce organic, it would cost a lot as we buy the following on a weekly basis just for juicing plus more for actual meals

5 pounds of carrots
1 or 2 bags of apples
Package of Asian pears
Bag of oranges
2 lbs strawberries

And that's just for breakfast, if we do lunch juices, we also get spinach, parsley, kale, cabbage, beets, etc

As you can imagine, it would be a whopping grocery bill at an organic store. Instead, we go to Costco, buy what they do have in organic and the rest, soak the heck out of them when we get home to hopefully get rid of whatever gunk is on them.

First start with a clean sink, plug it and turn on the cold water. The mixture is about ten parts water for one part vinegar. I don't bother measuring and just add what I estimate is on part of vinegar.

I soak all the fruits except oranges and bananas. And most veggies unless they are pre washed.
