By washing fruits and vegetables properly, we can avoid many diseases very quickly and easily.
Let’s explore some of these methods:
Apart from cooking, baking soda in the kitchen can also be used to wash fruits and vegetables.

Let’s say if you don’t have baking soda, the same thing can be done with salt and it will take less time.
If you are using salt water, you only need to soak the fruits and vegetables in it for 5 minutes and then rinse them with clean water and use them.
Vinegar not only enhances the flavor of your food, but is also an excellent cleaning agent for removing insects and pesticides from fruits and vegetables.
