Use A veggie wash only for your fruits!

Alright, since I've been doing the vegan diet of MOSTLY fruits and root veggies (and perhaps some leaves.), I must admit that I hardly ever paid attention to just how important a specified wash for produce is.

Needless to say, since using such a product, things have changed and I now have no intentions of going back to the old route of soap.

Ever.

The following excerpt my best explain why:

Pesticides and other agricultural chemicals are specifically engineered to be "waterproof" so that they are not washed off by rain and irrigation. Many fruits and vegetables (grapes, apples, cucumbers, etc.) are also coated in wax to preserve the quality and appearance of the produce from the fields to your kitchen table.

Studies suggest that some of these chemicals may be toxic to the human body. Specifically, pesticides have been linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders and can be especially harmful to children, the elderly, and anyone suffering from a deficient immune system.

Veggie Wash® safely and effectively removes wax, soil and agricultural chemicals found on standard and organic produce.

Why can’t I use soap on my produce?

Substances like soap, bleach, and other chemicals are not made with food-derived ingredients, and they are not designed (or safe) for use on food. The residue from these substances can not only affect the taste of your food, it can lead to illnesses such as vomiting and diarrhea, even in very small quantities. [Read more].

So In conlusion, for your produce USE THE SPECIFIED WASH FOR THEM only!!!
