What is the best nontoxic vegetable wash? The short answer is hydrogen peroxide. But, let's talk about why.
Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen. Our bodies actually make hydrogen peroxide as a defense mechanism to fight pathogens.
Hydrogen peroxide can kill microbes on vegetables. It can also help remove chemicals that kill microbes, like insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides.
The problem with these chemicals is that they are fat-soluble and can get locked into our fat cells, organs, and neurological tissue.
Some form of insecticide, fungicide, herbicide, and pesticide has likely been used on your organic vegetables too. Even though it's not as toxic, it still might be on the vegetables you bring home. This is why a good nontoxic vegetable wash is essential.
There is hydrogen peroxide and food grade hydrogen peroxide. I recommend food grade hydrogen peroxide that's 3%. You need to dilute it by mixing 1/4 cup of food grade hydrogen peroxide in 1 gallon of water. You can then soak your vegetables in this mixture for about 20 minutes. Keep in mind that hydrogen peroxide only lasts about six months.
Diluted hydrogen peroxide can also be used:
• As a natural mouthwash
• To help remove tartar
• As a natural deodorant
• As a natural disinfectant
• To help with an ear infection
• To help with a sore throat
• To help with acne
• To help with athlete's foot
Natural, nontoxic pesticide alternatives for your home and garden:
• Neem oil
• Diluted vinegar
• Diluted castile soap
• Diatomaceous earth

Can you wash blueberries and raspberries with this 3% hydrogen peroxide ? If not, what do you recommend??
Hello doc. What do you think of this new vitamin that can reverse heart damage. It is called MitoQ. It seems to be only available in America & Canada at the moment. The reviews look quite promising. I can get it here in the UK on Amazon but it's really expensive. £120 for 60cap.
Diatomaceous Earth, food grade, I think there are two kinds. The other one should not be inhaled or eaten. Just check on that first before you do it.
Great video ...I've been using hydrogen peroxide for years on just about everything you mentioned but as a mouthwash I ended up with problems and I found out the reason was as much as you're killing the bad bacteria you're also killing your good bacteria
(microbiome)
in your mouth! The best mouthwash is sodium bicarbonate and salt mixed with water!
Soak garden seeds in a 1:5 solution with water and 3% peroxide for a few hours. Big increase in sprouting.
I have had 12% Hydrogen Peroxide (food grade) in my fridge for well over 2-3 years and watching this I thought it was past it's shelf life! so I tested a little on my finger and believe me it is still very much active, so I'm pleased that storing in the fridge keeps it for much longer and it's out of sunlight. I'm using it at the moment to soak some dandelions for a salad :)
How to test for freshness
@@ruthhunt7679 I am still using it from my fridge as an occasional mouthwash diluted down to 3% or even less and as far as freshness goes it still fizzes or foams in my mouth which proves it has not lost any of it's properties. I rinse my mouth out with cold water afterwards...
Doctor Berg makes random topic so interesting.... Appreciate the hard work. ♥
I use diluted peroxide on my garden plants, especially cucumbers, to kill any fungus starting on the leaves. It keeps all veggie leaves clean in general.
Thank you Dr. Berg for the valuable information. I learn new things everyday. You are greatly appreciated.
This is the way, I’ve been using this to wash my fruits & veggies for ever 🙌🏻
Jesus Christ loves you ❤
Great information Dr. Berg. I have learned from, and appreciate, all that you have shared with us! Thank you!
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
omg! I legit asked me this question, starting keto one more time and going strong with my greenes. Thank you for all my dear Dr. Berg!!
Ya duermaseee
:p
Teamo
Thanks to Dr. Eric. I bought 3% HP on amazon. I just made a concoction of lightly boiling about 2 tablespoons of cloves then added about the same amount of baking powder. I let that sit until cool then poured it all into a spray bottle and added water until full. I did forget to buy some bay leaves to add a few but next time I go shopping. I sprayed on all outside doors and around windows. Keeps pests away really well. For all drains i just put in green gobbler bio-flo drain strips in each drain, kitchen, sink and shower which you can buy on amazon. Helps with drain flies and also freshens smelly drains! 🙏🏼 I'm prepared this summer 💪🏼😇
That's what I've been using... glad for the confirmation that it's best!
My first time to watch this channel with just an hour on air with only 10k views!

Thanks for ALL you do!!! 🙏🙌
My pleasure!

Hydrogen peroxide has a lot of benefits in our daily living, it's just need more information to share like this video to give people more knowledge, great share!
Dr Berg, you are definitely the G.O.A.T. Thanks for all that you do to help us get healthy and stay healthy.
Dr. thanks for your help, God bless you.
I use baking soda in my water. It works well. I will try this!
You use baking soda for what?
I use a mixture of two tsp Neem oil and and one tsp natural dish soap mixed with 2 gallons of water in a pump up sprayer on my garden vegetables. You have to apply it frequently for it to be effective.
Wow, never thought of this on food, thank you!
GM doctor Berg very informative thanks for sharing.
Definitely going to start using this formula !
I love your breakdown with chemistry and easy explanations and precise elaborations.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I was using 3% hydrogen peroxide as a pre-brushing rinse. I didn't know there were 2 types. I put the one I'm using away and will buy the food grade. Thank you for the info.
Where do I get the food grade Hydrogen Peroxide??
What about vinegar
@@cupidok2768 Yah, I agree. Vinegar has always been recommended.
My dentist said to use the 3% as mouthwash. Is that bad?
@@cupidok2768 but vinegar will leave some aftertaste. It's okay for fruits that are peeled but i wouldn't want to eat my salad with vinegar aftertaste
Thank you, Dr. Berg. As always, relevant, useful information!
Jesus Christ loves you ❤
God bless you, Dr. Berg! Great video!🎉🙂👏
When I was 18, my house was infested with flees from a neighbor 's dog. In my family, I was the only one being beaten by these fleas, and got badly allergic to their bites ( with huge swollen and extremely painful bumps lasting for a whole year). Out of frustration and desperation, my dad bought an flee spray and sprayed everything and everywhere in the house. I was at home for a month studying for my exam, breathinging the toxic chemicals in closed home without any concern ( it was such a cold winter). Just three days before the new year, I started coughing up some little blood, then within an hour after that, a full blown of blood coming up from my lung. I was rushed to a hospital. My life had changed forever from that day in many ways. Long story short, I finally had 1/2 my left lung having to be removed due to permanent damages. This only happens after decades of declined health as the consequences of the damaged lungs. So, definitely avoid these toxic sprays and try the natural ways anytime you can. One little mistake can potentially be life changing, not in a positive way.
Wow! So much we take for granted. Like oh these people will care not to get other people sick. I wish you well. Wow!
Good luck and keep strong!
@@donnaml8776 thanks so much!
@@dougm2250absolutely my goal is getting stronger than I was yesterday. Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dr. Berg. ♥️
You're very welcome! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Thank You Dr. Berg. I needed this information in my life.
Most welcome. Glad you found it useful.
Wowwwww merci merci merci Eric j’en reviens pas belle découverte ouiiii je vais partager aussi l’info et faire d’autre recherche 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Excellent, will be using this...thank you once again Dr. Berg 👍
Anytime!
Yeah! I use it always for a whole lot. Thanks sir 🙏 ☺ great content 👌 👍 👏. God bless you real good 🙏👍
Dr. Pls do a series on child nutrition, and also if you can address issues like slow physical growth, crankiness etc. Also supplementations that may help basic behavioral conditions caused by vit and mineral deficiencies.
This is extremely useful video and a good solution when one wants to eat raw vegetables.Moreover, it is easily available..Thanks so much.
As always, very good information Dr. Berg! Thank you for sharing! 💗
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words.
Good morning Doc Eric. This is a wonderful tip and so important for clean food. With all the toxic chemicals they spray on our fruits and veggies 🥕 its destroying our soil and bodies. Thanks so much..Have a wonderful July 4th holiday.
Do we know it's destroying our bodies or is this an assumption your doing? I mean our body is a pretty good cleaner, right?
Thanks for the citations.
Thank you for this information!
Most welcome!
Thank you! I have food grade Hydrogen Peroxide in my place! This is fantastic advice, as always!
Where does one buy food grade hydrogen peroxide??
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Dr Berg I appreciate you so much...I really wish i knew you over 2 years ago you are amazing Thanks
Hi dr Eric I’ve been on keto for a few months now I’ve just had a blood test and my blood platelets are high do you have any advise for me to lower them. I love your videos and have got my friends to follow you to. Thank you in advance for any advice. Keep up the good work your helping so many people. X
Great information, very much appreciate. Thank you, Dr Berg. Vinegar is acidic which makes it a powerful cleaner. To clean most fruits and vegetables, I mix a solution of 1 cup vinegar to 4 cups of water inside a spray bottle. Squeeze lemon juice. Mix well to combine. Placing the fruits and vegetables in a colander in the sink, spray it liberally with the mixture. It really helps to clean those fruits and veggies better than ever.
I have a dishpan tub that is devoted to soaking all my veggies in a vinegar solution. I use much less vinegar... Maybe a quarter cup in the dishpan.
Do you know what percent your vinegar is? I'm wondering if the 5% for cleaning would be ok for washing fruit and vegetables.
Lately because there is so much chlorine in my tap water, instead of soaking, I've been just spraying apple cider vinegar directly on the food, let sit for few min, rub baking soda to help lift dirt and toxins, rinse and dry....always looking for a better cheaper way if there is one.
Food grade hydrogen peroxide can be expensive.
@@ToastingMyJam360 mine is 5%
@@MarySmith-ry9cu
Ok great thank you for responding and the info! ☺
Yep....Vinegar studies do a great job....its cheap...its a food grade already....its readily accessible.
Here I go again Dr. Berg. WOW. Amazing information. Thank you so much.❤️👍
Thanks for your continued support!
I mix baking soda and lemon juice in warm water and just soak veggies for a bit and then rinse clean, they even taste better afterwards
I once heard that combo is basically just water then 🤷♀️
Thank you heaps . Absolutely amazing and important info for me.
Most welcome. Glad you found it useful.
I use vinegar in my dishwasher, on floors, and for laundry (with sodium carbonate and bicarbonate) and other cleaning instead of commercial detergents full of chemicals.
In dishwasher to wash the unit or wash your dishes
@@elleseller3348supposedly it’s good for descaling the machine. It didn’t really do much in mine so I had to use CLR.
Thank you as always for the info Dr Berg 🌸
You're very welcome!
Your garden is amazing. I don't do well with heat either, don't know how you can garden in it. Hope you had a great trip.
Sjogrens here along with the dry mouth and cavities. Started brushing and swishing with peroxide about a year and half ago. Now i have no cavities and only 2's when gum depth checked. I tell everyone to ditch the abrasive tooth paste and switch. My teeth are smooth and clean.
Great video… I am saving it for reference..
so much great info 💛🦋💛
Glad you found it useful!
Dr. Berg you are the man!
I appreciate those kind words.
Thank you so much for this.
You're very welcome.
A quick chemistry lesson from a follower of Dr. Berg:
The proper equation is
2(H2O2) -> 2(H2O) + O2
(I seem to have an OCD tendency when it comes to science!😊 )
Great idea! I’ve been using 11.0pH water from my Kangen machine
You could of also mentioned peppermint oil mixed with water, which helps with bugs. Only a few drops in a sprayer and mix with water.
I had an eye cold and put hydrogen peroxide in my ears (for 5 minutes in each ear) and it cleared up my eye cold.
I’ve used hydrogen peroxide in water 1 teaspoon to 1 cup water (so you won’t burn the leaves, but if you only get it on the soil you can use a 50-50 mixture) when watering my house plants and they grow so much stronger and faster. It brings oxygen to the roots. It’s really good if your plant’s leaves are turning yellow. The leaves are either getting too much water or not enough which causes the roots to not get enough oxygen and turn yellow. So hydrogen peroxide helps bring oxygen to the roots.
you can put two drops of peppermint oil on your swiffer to remove comb webs for good!
Do you use the food grade peroxide ? This is great to know!!!!!
@@floridanativelh568 honestly I haven’t known about the food grade hp. So it was just the kind you’d get at Walmart or the pharmacy. But I’m planning to get the food grade hp now that I know about it.
@@donnaml8776 same here Donna 😏
Thought I’d check Whole Foods or Amazon.
@@donnaml8776 so you just use the regular hydrogen peroxide? The one on a brown bottle?
Great info. Thank you so much.
Most welcome. Glad you found it useful.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg!!!
It's always a great pleasure!
Everytime I am thinking about a topic you come around with the anwer, like you can read my mind over the ocean in Germany😂
Always learning from you, 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽
Thank you so much Dr. Berg, I have been diving two hours each time I needed veg wash so that I could buy it from the nearest Trader Joes. This is a much more efficient and cost effective!
Here in Greece & Cyprus we use white vinegar produce and it is also a great disinfectant

I soak my getebales and fruits in white vinegar and water solution. Thats what I saw most people doing and am wondering if am doing the right thing???
It is. I soak mine in apple cider vinegar and water. I use water and vinegar for everything and then add in baking soda for laundry.
i been using sal suds, a biodegardable soap to clean veggies. what you think about that?
Thank you Dr Berg

Sodium percarbonate known also as powered hydrogen peroxide is stable and can be stored for years and more convenient to use
Can you purchase powdered hydrogen peroxide in 3% food grade? I didn't see it on Amazon. I will try your recommendation for cleaning tasks but I will only use food-grade going forward for fruits and vegetables.
@@jnova3328 it’s sodium percarbonate it is used as eco laundry bleach the white powder, I don’t know if what is sold as such is pure sodium percarbonate so I wouldn’t use it for cleaning foods, I get mine from a UK chemical suppliers in 10 kg bags and it’s much cheaper than buying it from super markets
When it is added to water it releases hydrogen peroxide and what is left is sodium carbonate or soda water
I’m not to sure off hand how to calculate precise concentrations I just add a teaspoon full to a litre of water it’s a great work top etc disinfectant
@@johnmcfadden9336 Thank you for the additional information you provided.
I wash most of my veggies with water and dish detergent scrubbing them with a dobie pad or sponge. Green leafed veggies like Kale though are a bit tougher and usually just give them a rinse under running water. I`ll keep the H2O2 in mind from hear on.
Thanks Doc for another informative video.
yes but the problem is you are washing it with flourided water
Nasty, full of bad chemicals.
If anyone has better suggestions for cleaning my Kale from the market i`m open to ideas. I don`t always have farmer`s markets available to me and there are no magical crystal clear streams around to help me out. Also do not have the land to grow my own. AAAAAAAaaaah!
Yes grab a zero water filter it's the best one and they give you a PPM water tester so you can see it's 100% clear
@@jaz6051 So are you suggesting that we use bottled water to wash our vegetables?
Reflecting my knowledge.
great info thank you Dr berg❤
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you doc!!!!!
Most welcome!
I read an article from consumer reports and they said using dish detergent works very well for washing your vegetables. I've been using it for the last two to three years now and long as U rinse your vegetables you don't taste any soap. But using the peroxide if it kills off all them real bad thing that's probably the better product to use
Wow!thanks for this video
Awesome! Glad it could help.
Hi Dr.Berg Thank you!❤👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You're very welcome!
Oh wow. Had no idea it was good for foot fungus. Great idea! Thx bro
Me either!
your the man sir
Thank you.
Anytime.
Thanks for the knowledge! Also after I soak my fruits/veggies in my %3 food grade , what is the rinsing process and time? Thanks
Great idea. I'm disappointed that I didn't think of this a long time ago.
I eat lots of organic salad, 7-10 cups a day as you recommended, Dr. Berg. I wash them thoroughly with water but now I will add hydrogen peroxide. Thanks for the info.
You so healthy its hard for me to eat just one salad 😭
@@Thedurtytruth I didn’t use to eat salad but now I enjoy it. I got rid of constipation after eating large bowl of vegetables everyday
Thank you Dr Berg, this is really useful. What about Baking Soda? I’ve read soaking and rinsing your vegetables with Baking Soda helps kill pesticides as well. Thx
I use vinegar and baking soda.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tip. However, may I know the ratio please for using hydrogen peroxide as a deodorant? Thank you so much, Dr. Berg.
Hello great video I'm glad that I came across what brands or where would we find FOOD consumption hydrogen peroxide🤔
Thanks Dr.Berg !
Most welcome!
