12 DIRTIEST Fruits & Vegetables (& How To Clean Them!)

[@Jupiter0ne]

Melissa, thank you for this channel, I love it, but one correction...the white film on blueberries and grapes is not the pesticide. This is a completely natural coating produced by the fruit itself called "bloom". It helps protect the fruit from pests and moisture loss. You will see bloom on organic fruit too. And I cannot bring myself to eat eggplant. 🤢

[@cleanmyspace]

Thanks for this! Eggplants also on my list...

Hi Melissa, about 4 years ago I stumbled onto your videos. I can say this with an open heart. Your videos changed my life. Everytime I clean my kitchen I do the S way of cleaning counter tops as well as the eye level testing. Everyday I think of what you said about that. I stay in South Africa and have told so many ladies about you. You changed my life How to clean MY space. Thank you so much for your tips. I watch your videos over and over. One of these days I'm going to order by my waffle towels and microfibre cloths. ❤

Eye-level testing and the S way of cleaning - sounds like you've got it down to a science! Keep up the great work and thanks for the wonderful kind words Charmaine! Melissa.

Peppers are amazing. High in vitamin c. I sneak them into most of my dishes. It's also fun to push yourself by working your way up the scoville heat index and just consuming raw.

Hello Melissa, I've been hearing alot about apple cider vinegar and water bath to clean fruits, does that really do the job or is it just an old wives tail? What's your thoughts on ACV??

[@momoffour2072]

Can you clarify why you would sometimes use vinegar and other times baking soda?

[@cleanmyspace]

baking soda traditionally is used when some safe form of 'abrasive' is required (grapes, blueberries). but if you are using either one you are better off than none at all. Hope that helped clarify! Melissa.

[@bigsistermaria5578]

I love peppers. I roast them on the stove fire until black . Then clean them off under running water. Slice them an jar them with some salt , chopped garlic and extra virgin olove oil. Use then in sandwiches and love them with scrambled eggs. YUMMO. Thanks for the video 👍

Another suggestion I picked up from a woman who is a doctor and an Orthodox Sephardic Jew: if you buy berries, such as raspberries and blackberries, be sure to soak them for a while. Often there are little insects living in them. I saw her video. They keep strictly Kosher so she takes a lot of precautions.

[@cleanmyspace]

Yes. Recommend 10-15 mins for berries. True!

[@davisamills597]

Okay this may be a silly Q. But I just need to ask. If you buy all organic produce, do you still need to follow these cleaning steps? Or can you just rinse & eat?

[@cleanmyspace]

No Q is silly. Good for you for supporting local and buying organic. FDA still recommends rinsing all vegetables and fruits before consumption, however pesticide residue is less prominent in organic matter (but can still appear!) Hope that helps!

[@kpope7007]

I use my salad spinner to wash my fruit and a spray bottle of white vinegar for my apples and peppers.

[@cleanmyspace]

Great tip!

[@Megan9689]

I eat peppers almost every day as a vegetarian. I always use vinegar water solution and a scrubbie to wash apples, zucchini, peppers, oranges(if you're going to zest), cucumbers, etc.

[@cleanmyspace]

Sounds like your veggies get a spa treatment before they end up on your plate! Keep up the good work in keeping them squeaky clean.

[@Americanoligarchy]

What about the salad kits from a grocery store and says it's triple washed, are they really safe to eat right from the container? Where I live i don't have access to a normal kitchen area, I mean I do but it's a pain to deal with so eat it right from the kit from the store. Please tell me those are safe

[@Megan9689]

2:00 I disagree. Washing them right away removes dirt and pesticides. Dirt=bacteria. Ever since I started washing my strawberries(always dirty dozen #1) in a water & vinegar solution shortly after buying, rinsing and putting on a tea towel to dry, cutting tops off, and putting in a container with paper towels, it makes it last SO much longer. Same with lettuce.

Excellent video and so useful! My least favorite veg: Brussels sprouts. When I think of cleaning fruits & veg's, I think of actual dirt too, not just pesticides, since dirt (soil) is where produce would pick up bacteria like E. coli or C. diff. I saw some research where the veggie that needs the most washing re: soil is lettuce, especially leaf lettuces or "spring mix," because lettuce is right down in the soil and there are so many folds and frills with lettuce that it's hard to fully rinse it. I've also had to rinse spinach multiple times to remove sand. ... and now I'm hungry for a nice salad, LOL! Thanks Melissa!

[@kenmore01]

And spinach. I thought that or leeks would be #1.

​@@cleanmyspaceI saw this & hit so fast! I often wonder what I'm doing right or wrong. I have citrus trees, and I wash them with dish soap (horror of horrors!) I don't know what else to do, because birds are up in there doing their business. I know there's nets to keep them out, but 1) the trees are big, and 2) I live in the desert, so it's hot. Not nice to keep the birds out🤷‍♀️ Any advice on how to do it differently? I know it's weird, but I want the zest too and don't want poo in my zest! That was the best idea I had in getting it cleaned. All the video tips were pretty good; thanks! Oh, and those cotton candy grapes are amazing, although they don't displace regular grapes😉

[@Megan9689]

​@gohawks3571 I sometimes do dawn and scrubbie too and then rinse. Most of the time I do the vinegar and water mix in a large bowl, soak veggies or fruits for a minute then using my scrubbie to clean any debris etc off. I rinse and set on a tea towel to dry if storing.

Does Organic fruits and veggies need this type of wash? Or can you just use cold water?

Great question! All fruits and veggies should be washed. Even organic fruits and vegetables may contain (some) pesticides!

[@beatrijsb634]

Organic food is made without pesticides but may have a coating on it… if you get organic apples and pears sometime they put the coating to protect it from getting wrinkles, with organic kale, spinach and so on you can wash with inlet water 💦

​@@beatrijsb634 that is not correct. There are many OMRI pesticides. Neem oil is one, for example. Perfectly harmless to our skin, but you do not want to eat it.

Another question: have you heard of Apeel? There's a FB group that discussed bioengineered food and harmful chemicals. They're saying that Apeel does not wash off of produce and recommend peeling the affected product. I'm new to that group and wonder how do you even know it's on your produce? If all washing attempts fail?

[@therealjenniferrr]

It's supposed to be on the produce sticker. Although sometimes that sticker falls off, so if you are missing a sticker on the one you pick up check the others. Do not eat the skin of any products that have it, I know some avocados and apples are using it.

Great advise but I beg to differ about bell peppers.....They are yummy to me but to each their own 😊 What about organic items in the same categories? While I can't afford everything organic is it even worth it to pick and choose to eliminate the pesticides or do they just use some sort of chemical products anyway making it not really worth the extra expense of organic to begin with?

Absolutely! Each their own. You are correct Barbara. Even organics use some pesticides so conventional are fine (and less $$) so just make sure you are aware which ones to wash thoroughly! Thanks for watching!!

[@henriettelinkshanderin1449]

It depends on your country. Here in Germany the rules for organic food are really strict, no pesticides or genetic engineering are allowed. So we are on the safe side when we buy organic. And it is worth the price!

[@chrislora8895]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention that it is better to choose organic versions of the dirty dozen, as opposed to using so many methods to clean them. My understanding of the growing process of the dirty dozen is that so many pesticides and other chemicals are used during the whole process that washing NON organic produce wouldn’t help. I may have to check the FDA site or the EPA for clarification.

[@cleanmyspace]

Even organics have proven to have SOME pesticides, but obviously supporting local farmers who are organic is an ideal choice but an expensive one. If you wash conventional properly, you can remove much of the pesticide danger! Thanks for watching this one! And the great comments!
