Homemade Vegetable Wash/Preserver Produce Wash - Make Your Own

Mama's Kitchen (Hope)'s Note:

Easy and economical. Ideal for rinsing produce when you cannot get or afford to buy Organic. Removes a lot of residue like chemicals, pesticides and other matter quickly and easily. I saw this on Oprah and had to share! NOTE: Make sure to mix this in a DEEP pitcher. The baking soda and vinegar will react and foam everywhere if you do not. (just ask any elementary school kid who has ever made a volcano for science class)

This is a great produce wash. I've probably made up 5 or 6 batches and I use it on all fresh produce ... LOVE IT!

Thanks for sharing. Next time though I'll read the instructions for a deep pitcher. I had to make more, most of it bubbled out. This is great, especially with all the flu around.
