It always amazes me that in a country obsessed with cleanliness and germs, we in the United States
still assume that a quick rinse under cold water is sufficient to clean our foods before eating. Think
about it. Pesticides, fertilizers, dirt, road grit, molds, fungi, waxes - or worse! On your food! I believe
that, like Australia, we in the US will soon make fruit and vegetable washes part of our daily routine.
Detergent residues on dishes have already been
linked to specific health problems. I for one prefer to
use time proven soap based technology to maintain
my world. The human organism evolved to deal with
the chemical combinations found in our natural world.
For the past hundred years or so we have bombarded
ourselves with new chemical combinations on our
food, in our air, water and soil, and on our bodies.
Why use questionable chemicals to clean off other
questionable chemicals?
All the competing food washes I have checked out were made from the same
detergent bases we are being told to keep off our bodies. Some are even
touted as "organic", while offering no substantiation to back up that
claim. Perhaps they mean that it will work on organic foods. Or perhaps
they mean organic in the organic chemistry sense - meaning that the
chemicals are made from carbon atoms. Soap products have been safely used
by humans for thousands of years - detergents for less than a hundred.
Which would you (and/or your customers) prefer?
Vermont Soap Organics Produce Magic Fruit & Veggie Wash can be used a number of ways. Pour into a spray bottle for a convenient spray and rinse. Apply directly to
foods and rinse. Apply to a brush - scrub and rinse. Add to a container of water for root crops and larger volumes. Add just enough Produce Magic to the water to work up a hint of foam. Don't worry about using too much, actual percentage required will vary with the temperature and hardness of your water.
Available in convenient 16oz bottles (Sold in units of 6) and economical gallon containers
