Hello everyone!
I have a quick question. What are your thoughts or opinions on these washes.
I don't live in a very big area and it's very hard to get organic produce in the winter. The health food store 'near me' is 35 miles and tiny!!!
Thanks everyone!

I've never used the washes, I fill a large bowl with water and thoroughly shake out lettuce leaves and vegetables individually in the water, then put them in a strainer to dry. It's amazing how much more dirt you get out that way! If a cucumber or other vegetable seems oily or pesticide laden, I wash it with a mild castile soap, rinse it off, then peel. I've never noticed a soap taste. For potatoes, if we plan to eat the skin, I either buy organic or use one of those rough green scouring cloths sold in the grocery stores, dedicated to potato use.
