what should I wash fruits and veggies in?

Water does fine at rinsing off any germs that may be present on the surface. Pesticide residue is a non-issue for any produce that was grown in the US and most any 'first world' country. In any event vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda etc. do *nothing* to eliminate any residues that would be present!

You CAN use a liquid soap like Dr. Bronners (or even ordinary dishwashing liquid) to remove the wax or shellac that a lot of produce is coated in, and in the unlikely event that any significant pesticide residue remains those soaps will cut those also. No soap taste will remain if you rinse all the soap off!

If you dig up the MSDS sheets on those special sprays you'll discover the main ingredients ARE highly diluted dishwashing liquid! They're nothing more than a high profit margin scam.

Easy.... Run any fruit or vegetable under running water for 30 seconds while gently rubbing it with your fingers so you don't bruise the fruit or veggie, then dry with a soft towel. This has been proven by the FDA to remove a total of 80% of surface pesticides. The veggie washes and home remedies have never been proven to remove any more pesticides than plain water. The rubbing is the essential part though, running it under water without rubbing it with your fingers or just soaking it only removes about 50% of surface pesticides. The FDA just released this a couple of weeks ago, try the website to read the official report.

Plain water if I'm going to cook it or peel it. I use the dish soap if I'm going to eat it raw though, just to be on the safe side. It's already there on the counter and it's organic soap and cheaper than buying vegetable wash, so why not?

tap water

we have been doing it for a VERY long time

if no tap any fast running stream you normally drink from.

use a brush on the root crops.

remember bugs (any) on the out side really get cooked fast

as for the new vegetable sprays They are NEW

I been eating the same food 67 years no fancy cprat to clean.

Use baking soda and water. Also- use a vegetable brush to wash fruits, or veggies with tougher skins.

I just use running water but there are some products on the market that can be used for cleaning fruits/veges.

Water.

Well...I peel cucumbers and oranges and dont eat lemon rind so I dont really wash them. As for other stuff....I just rinse it.

jsut use water.

and scrub them really well

and add a dab of soap now and them.

but rinse them very well afterwards.

try to stick with organics, but if not many companies are coming out with fruit and veggie washes....
