Produce Washing Solution
3 parts filtered water
1 part apple cider vinegar

Dip smooth produce (apple, peppers) in washing solution
Soak produce with rough skin or curly leaves (Kale, cantaloupe) for 2 minutes
Rinse well
Dry on lint free towels (ie. Flour sack towels)

*Tomatoes should be stored at room temperature. Refrigerating them makes them mushy.
