What kinds of fruits and vegetables should be washed?
The benefits of washing with Mom’s Veggiewash over water-only washing are obvious for vegetables and fruits which are not peeled before eating such as leafy greens and broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, but fruits such as oranges and bananas which are normally peeled before eating, should be “shampooed” as well. The fungicides and fumigants sprayed in the packaging, contaminants from packing, shipping, and storage of produce are still present in significant amounts and transfer to the hands of children and adults when peeling the fruit, and then to the mouth.
