Clean Your Fruits | DIY Natural Fruit + Veggie Cleaner
*Update to this post found here!
My friend Kristine shared her fruit cleansing recipe recently and once I tried it, I was hooked! Mostly because the addition of citrus essential oil just adds a BURST of summery flavor to whatever fruit I'm cleaning.
I know Kristine had measurements, but I kind of suck at measuring stuff. So here's what I do:
fill my mama's giant sliver bowl with fruit
just barely cover with water
pour in a bit more than a splash of white vinegar (or ACV)
add 2-3 drops of any citrus oil (lemon, orange, grapefruit, whatever is handy)
swirl
let sit for about 5 minutes
swirl again
rinse
enjoy
Even though you'll rinse the fruit, there's just a tiny hint of the citrus oil. Tiny. Hint. It's amazing and my favorite way to enjoy fresh fruit! The kids love the taste!
