Now, more than ever, we know how important it is to not only wash our hands, but also to wash our fruits & vegetables as well. With our new normal comes the responsibility to make sure all the produce we come into contact with is thoroughly cleaned, and not just rinsed, so we can protect our family from a variety of contaminants.
Fruit & Vegetable Wash
Stop Rinsing. Start Cleaning!
Washing with water alone is not enough! Veggie Wash is specially formulated with unique vegetable-derived, non-GMO ingredients, to work safely and effectively. It breaks down the wax to let you wash away contaminants, dirt, pesticides, bacteria, and people-handling residue quickly and easily.
It also rinses clean and leaves no aftertaste, only the delicious, natural flavor of your fruits & vegetables. By washing with Veggie Wash, you can be sure that the fruits & vegetables your family eats are really clean and safe.
Why We Should Clean Our Fruits & Vegetables—Every Time!
Whether the produce that you eat is grown on the ground or on trees, contaminants exist in the soil and in the air. Rain-resistant pesticides are used regularly, and often times organic farms are located next to regular farms that use pesticides. Wind and rain can transport those pesticides “across the street” to the organic farms.
Anywhere between 10-15 people can touch your fruits and vegetables between the farm and the store shelf leaving behind harmful residues.
In addition, produce is waxed before it reaches the store shelf so that it looks better and lasts longer. This wax traps all of the bad stuff under it, in it, and on it, increasing the possibility of illnesses caused by bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria.
You want to protect your family and have them enjoy the benefits of fresh, clean, healthy produce. Rinsing alone with tap water is not enough to remove the water-resistant wax that is trapping all of that bad stuff.
How Do I Use It?
It’s very easy to use! Before cutting up your fruits and vegetables, simply spray hard produce (apples, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.), rub for 20 – 30 seconds, and then rinse and dry.
For soft, leafy produce (lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, etc.) soak and swish for 30 seconds, and then rinse and dry. That’s it!
By washing with Veggie Wash you can be sure that the fruits and vegetables your family eats are really clean. Veggie Wash is certified Kosher and has been protecting families since 1998.
How About Organic Produce?
Just because your produce has been organically grown (no pesticides or growth hormones used) doesn’t necessarily mean it’s free of contaminants. Natural fertilizers can contain harmful pollutants. Wind-carried chemicals drift over from non-organic farms, and there is still people-handling residue from the farm to the store.
The FDA has stated that all fruits and vegetables should be cleaned, even if they are organic or bought at a farmer’s market.
Veggie Wash Organic is made with organic ingredients, and is certified “Organic” in accordance with USDA NOP standards by Oregon Tilth, the leading certifier and advocate for organic agriculture.
It cleans your organic produce without changing their organic characteristics, and it’s ideal for non-organic produce as well.
