Everyone knows that vegetables and fruits that were brought home need to be washed. But this should be done just before eating them.

You shouldn't do this in advance, otherwise you can shorten the shelf life of such products.

Vegetables and fruits should be washed thoroughly under running water.

The procedure will be of higher quality if you use a special sponge or brush.

No additional detergents are needed.

It is important to note that tight bunches should be separated with scissors. There is no need to tear the berries from the stalk.

Earlier we talked about why it’s not possible to bake vegetables deliciously.
