]]> I usually buy organic produce and wash it with just water. I’m trying to stay convinced that I don’t need a special store-bought veggie wash to remove waxy residue, people handling and pesticides (for non-organic) like the makers claim. Still, I might end up reviewing one of them like Fit or Environne.

In the mean time, enjoy this peppy video on how to make your own veggie wash. They call it organic, but that would only be the case if you used organic lemon juice. I’ve seen other variations on homemade veggie wash that include baking soda.

Let us know if you try the recipe on the video using water, lemon juice and vinegar. I tried it with with some tomatoes and didn’t notice a big difference, but that might not be the case with other veggies or fruits.
