How To Clean Fruits And Vegetables Properly: Once again the cases of corona virus have increased rapidly in India. Every day more than 3000 cases of Omicron’s new sub-variant XBB.1.16 are being reported. In such a situation, it is very important for all of us to pay attention to both the hygiene and immunity of our body. You will remember the time when Corona was at its peak. During this time everything that came home from outside was properly cleaned. It was believed that the corona virus can survive on any surface for about 5 days. This is the reason why people were washing the vegetables coming to their house thoroughly earlier. Due to increasing cases of corona virus, the same situation may come back once again.
In such a situation, if you want to save yourself and your family from the havoc of the corona virus, then bring the vegetables and fruits brought from the market home only after washing them. One reason for this is that many people touch these fruits and vegetables in the market. To avoid this, they should be washed thoroughly before eating. That’s why today we will tell you the effective methods of washing vegetables and fruits as told by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention i.e. CDC.
– Wash with clean water
The possibility of corona virus in vegetables and fruits brought from the market is very high. In this case, before using them, wash them in running water under the tap. Actually, by cutting fruits and vegetables without washing them, the bacteria in the peel can easily reach inside them.
– Do not wash with soap or detergent
Many people want to be extra protective and wash vegetables and fruits in lukewarm water with mild soap or detergent. However, you shouldn’t do this. According to the CDC, food items should never be cleaned with chemical products. This way you can remove the virus, but other chemicals will harm your health.
Keep vegetables and fruits in vinegar
You can use a mixture of vinegar, salt and water to disinfect vegetables and fruits. To make this mixture, you have to take two teaspoons of salt, add half a cup of vinegar and two liters of water to it. Keep in mind that this quantity can be less or more according to vegetables and fruits. Now put all the things in this mixture and leave it for 5 minutes. Later wash thoroughly with clean water.
