Be Safe This Thanksgiving and Avoid Dangerous Bacteria with These Important Tips!

Thanksgiving is coming. Let the preparations begin proper cleaning of both your food and the food prep spaces.

One thing we at Bayes believe you should be prepared for is the cleaning and safety of your fruits and vegetables. You might be surprised at the amount of germs and generally unclean material is on those fresh vegetables and fruits actually comes off when you simply rinse or rub them under running water. Whether or not you choose to buy organic produce, it’s still very important to wash them well before consuming them. Fertilizers, animals, and unhealthy soil  and pollutants in the air can still contaminate your food. Then, once you've bought or picked your fruits and veggies, you bring them in the kitchen and excitedly place them on the counter, right? Then, all those nasty extras also end up on your counter!

Thanks to Organic Authority, we have a simple 2 ingredient fruit and vegetable wash you can make yourself!

Two-Ingredient Fruit and Vegetable Wash Recipe

Makes 2 cups

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup vinegar

Directions: Make a solution that is one part water and one part vinegar. Mix and then pour into an empty clean spray bottle. Spray on hard-surfaced fruits and vegetables and scrub lightly. Rinse thoroughly until the vinegar aroma is gone. For more delicate fruits and vegetables, pour the same 1:1 solution into a bowl. Add the berries, lettuce or whatever it may be and let sit for a few minutes. Rinse well before eating.

The next important thing to care for is those counters! They are where we are going to prepare our food (you don’t want new contaminates!) and it’s just as important to make sure those spaces are properly cleaned after you’ve made your meal, to ensure that any and all bacteria is quickly disposed of. What’s the best tool for the job?
