Clean fruits and vegetables, is it possible?

We are constantly told that we must eat five fruits and vegetables a day for our health. But touched by many people on the shelves of shops and markets, not to mention their harvest and transport, fruits and vegetables accumulate a whole heap of dirt, bacteria and pesticides before arriving at our home to be tasted. Some people consume them like this, others rinse them with a little water. But is it enough?

A solution and papers

Several professionals agree that no, a short passage under water is not enough. The Vegan Eden brand has therefore decided to enter the market by offering two products to effectively clean apples, tomatoes, eggplants and other cucumbers. There is a bottle containing a liquid solution, perfect for use at home. And wipes called sheets, for picnics, healthy snacks at work or when you don't have the patience to come home from the market before biting into a good pear. The solution requires rinsing with water but the food cleaned with the wipes can be consumed directly. Say goodbye to the dilemma "Do I eat or not?" encountered when you find yourself in front of an apple tree, you pick a fruit that looks delicious, you want to devour it but you don't have anything to rinse it and remove all the bacteria!

A natural and edible cleansing

The list of ingredients would almost make you hungry:Citrus extracts for their naturally cleansing properties, aromatic plant extracts with disinfectant qualities, apple cider vinegar to work against bacteria and food ingredients that allow water to hang to clean the impurities. In its leaf version, there is also purified water to allow use without rinsing. Convenient when you find yourself outside without a sink nearby. As for the solution, it can for example be placed on the sink for daily use and it is diluted in water to soak salads, etc. We tasted and we certify that the recipe leaves no taste or smell on your fruits and vegetables.

Verdict

It's hard to know without laboratory analysis if the solution cleans better than water... But for the wipes, super practical, we say yes!
