Mostly these days it’s my husband who does the grocery shopping. I make the list, he gets the things, he comes home and I put everything away.
If it were up to me I’d buy enough groceries for an entire year and be done with it. But he has a burning desire to leave the house everyday and well, I don’t. But every once in a while, I’ll go with him.
Yada yada yada… I went with The HH to Market Basket the other day and spotted this in the produce section.
Veggie Wash!? Would you buy this? How is this even a thing? What’s wrong with using just water?
Are you kidding me? People wash their produce with soap? I had no idea.
Would you buy this? Curious minds want to know.

They are advertizing something like this on tv buy one bottle get one free (yeah) and it is $24.95 plus shipping of course. I thought who buys this stuff? When I am soaking my broccoli I just put it in a big bowl of water with a few pinches of baking soda and sometimes a bit of salt. Of course if I could sell it for $24.95 I would. That is crazy.

If it’s store-bought produce, I do wash it. They put all kinds of chemicals & waxes on that stuff. My wash is simply some water & vinegar, or some water & baking soda, though. I’d never buy a product like this! Seems like such a waste of money. If it’s produce I’ve grown at home, then I just do a simple water rinse.

No way! That ingredient list is scary but the precaution statement is worse. “Avoid contact with eyes”! What? And you’re supposed to eat the end result?

I remember getting a free sample of a similar product years ago. I used it up and never bought it again. I found a little baking soda in water for soaking grapes or whatever goes a great job for any produce I can’t wash individually.

Our husbands are twins in that respect. After doing all the shopping for years I am glad. Though I go to Costco with him occasionally.
I would buy food for year too! I am a homebody.

Nope … not with all those nasty ingredients. Ever since I can remember, I have been soaking ALL of my veggies for 15-20 minutes in cold water with a pinch of sea salt. I swear, it makes the veggies crisper and taste even fresher.

Water and a gentle scrub work well too…..lol
