It's good that you want to learn more, but just letting you know, this is a debunked theory and fake news. Don't do this, or your fruits will rot much faster, and no, it doesn't clean fruits better.
I use vinegar and let the berries dry then store in a container with ventilation . I did read online that vinegar helps with longer shelf live as well.
Used vinegar and baking soda soak on all fresh fruit and veggies. The trick is that every single piece must be hand dried with a paper towel before stored. Everything lasts much longer when stored in the fridge. I use zip lock bags.
I am so sorry I am not drying every single piece of strawberry or blueberry! I will manage the best I can with layers of regular paper towels in between my produce and berries and call it good. For God sake...
Should add there is a hack to drying blueberries, blackberries and raspberries…. Use a salad spinner. Drying keeps the mold from forming on the fruit. It’s your time vs rising cost on groceries❤️
Vinegar is acidic, and baking soda is alkaline (basic) so using them both at the same time neutralizes them. If you are going to use both you should do them separately.

Most likely because you are surrounded by healthy bacteria spores in the garden. That, plus natural fruits and veggies are a powerhouse plus for your immune system. 👍
Read that study, it was about one type of fruit, apples, I think. It did not say anything about billberies, raspberries, strawberries or any other berry or fruit. Also, store your fruits in the fridge without the lid and unwashed. Wash them with running water just before serving.
Actually don’t do that and store your DRY strawberries in a glass jar with a tight lid in the fridge and they’ll last longer and just wash regularly when ready to use. (Please watch Ann Reardon because I think a lot of you could benefit from watching her myth bust)
If you don't want to wait 15 minutes, use a splash of white distilled vinegar instead of baking soda. Gently agitate the fruit for ~60 seconds, drain and rinse the fruit, and eat. The vinegar doesn't change the taste of the fruit and kills pesticides faster than baking soda. Also, as several others have mentioned, you should only wash your berries if you will be consuming them within 24-48 hours. Berries go bad faster once they've been washed.
After washing, dry them and place a paper towel on the top and bottom of the container to collect any additional moisture. This will add 2 weeks to your storage
This is one of my all time favorite movies! My center is similar to Santa’s: seeing wonder in the world. As a designer, I can’t help but see how beautiful things are combined with their functionality as a tool and usability for people as an art form.
Thank you so much for these videos as someone who grew up with parents who literally didn’t show me anything people like me are really going to appreciate this. I didn’t even find out with a washcloth and loofa was until I was 18.
I'd love a link to that study. If something as simple as baking soda reduces pesticides, you'd think they wouldn't be causing so many health issues for people!
Imo it's really important to know your produce before deciding how to store it. Berries have a lot of small crevices where water can get stuck and grow mold faster. If you want them washed so you can eat them right out of the fridge, spread them out over a kitchen towel on a flat surface and let them dry before storing them. With strawberries, you can just pluck the greens from the crown to help them dry easier and faster. Other produce benefits from being stored in water, like carrots and other root vegetables. I like to wash and peel my carrots before sticking them in water and storing them in the fridge, just to save a little on prep time in the future and they last a lot longer that way. If you want, you can even stick whole carrots into the water with the tops sticking out to grow carrot greens for salads and stuff. Just make sure to change out the water regularly so it doesn't rot (growing in water exposes the roots to warmer temperatures and potential water contaminants, which is why they can rot growing on the counter and don't when submerged completely in a sealed container in the fridge).
During the pandemic, I started to make my own fruit and vegetable wash. In a giant spray bottle mix- 1 part white vinegar, 1 part baking soda and lemon juice . It has been my go to as an all purpose cleaner, stain lifter and veggie and fruit wash!
Tip: don't wash fruit unless you're gonna eat them the same day. Exposing fresh fruit to moisture only makes them rot and grow mold faster, even when in the fridge. Mold loves moisture.
I think adults who run households have other things to worry about rather than how to wash a fruit, I legit thought I would learn somehting useful for my home 😂😂
I try to buy organic as can afford, especially the more porous fruit or vegetables. Even Walmart carries it now. The more we support organic farmers the more they thrive and will be more affilordable. Buying from local growers also cuts down on pesticides sprayed on fruit while traveling.
Adding paper towels to the container helps soak the water and extends the life of any fruit or veggie. I'm not an expert but this has worked for me many many times.
After washing, I remove maximum excess moisture without bruising the produce. If too tricky, I pat it down or let nature evaporate surface moisture on its own. Takes 2 or so hours. Then storage in the fridge. The baking soda water leftover... Not sure if it was a fluke but I threw that water on soil where I dump tomato seeds. Had a very good harvest that one time I did that.
I soak my berries in water and white vinegar. Dry them and put back in the container with a paper towel. I pick out any old ones and freeze for future smoothies. It been helping with my food waste.
I’ll try this washing method, people think washing it decreases the longevity of the produce but if you put it in a airtight container in the fridge it last so much longer
I've been told by an old farm lady best way is to wash them in a mix of ⅓ vinegar ⅔ water don't rinse them , dry completely and store in aire tight container and they last for 80% longer, just rinse them before eating to remove vinegar taste. I've been doing thus method for a couple years now and all my berry produce last a long time.
i actually even slice mine after washing but as long as you put paper towel in with it they will stay fresh for a week :-) this works with most fruits and veggies.
I don't wash my strawberries until I eat them they rot really fast

zach n tara’s chemistry BROOO love em

Oh cool! I need to try this! 😃👍🏽
She's having a beautyfull voice!❤️
This was so helpful thank you so much for the tip!!
Wow thank you so much for this video I did not know to put baking soda on fruit while washing the fruit. Keep making more educating videos.
Um, excuse me why did you interrupt & than cut off that little cuddly person? They were in the middle of talking to us, ya know?! 😂😂😂
I always soak my cilantro like this before storing it, i even add ice cubes to the bowl so the green leaves stay crispier. Ice Works !!
Thanks for sharing. Cute baby voice and those fruited look yummy x
This video was why I started to subscribe to your channel. Thanks for the tip.
I'd love a link to that study. If something as simple as baking soda reduces pesticides, you'd think they wouldn't be causing so many health issues for people!

Imo it's really important to know your produce before deciding how to store it. Berries have a lot of small crevices where water can get stuck and grow mold faster. If you want them washed so you can eat them right out of the fridge, spread them out over a kitchen towel on a flat surface and let them dry before storing them. With strawberries, you can just pluck the greens from the crown to help them dry easier and faster. Other produce benefits from being stored in water, like carrots and other root vegetables. I like to wash and peel my carrots before sticking them in water and storing them in the fridge, just to save a little on prep time in the future and they last a lot longer that way. If you want, you can even stick whole carrots into the water with the tops sticking out to grow carrot greens for salads and stuff. Just make sure to change out the water regularly so it doesn't rot (growing in water exposes the roots to warmer temperatures and potential water contaminants, which is why they can rot growing on the counter and don't when submerged completely in a sealed container in the fridge).
Smoothly run my home!! How delightful…new subbie
I swear blueberries start softening like immediately after being washed. I can't imagine storing them after. They'd be mush
Thank you for this message. I learned before storing fruits is to sure it is dry !
During the pandemic, I started to make my own fruit and vegetable wash. In a giant spray bottle mix- 1 part white vinegar,
1 part baking soda and lemon juice . It has been my go to as an all purpose cleaner, stain lifter and veggie and fruit wash!
I heard you keep them wrapped in paper towels in an airtight container. That's how my strawberries lasted the longest.
I never find strawberries that beautiful in near me. Even at the farmers market
Tip: don't wash fruit unless you're gonna eat them the same day.
Exposing fresh fruit to moisture only makes them rot and grow mold faster, even when in the fridge. Mold loves moisture.
Very useful video
And.. Very very delightful sounds☺️ ❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏 for this helpful tip!!!
Thank you for the tips!!!❤️❤️
I think adults who run households have other things to worry about rather than how to wash a fruit, I legit thought I would learn somehting useful for my home 😂😂
This actually sounds like it could be really helpful.
Thanks for making this so simple and fast
I try to buy organic as can afford, especially the more porous fruit or vegetables. Even Walmart carries it now. The more we support organic farmers the more they thrive and will be more affilordable. Buying from local growers also cuts down on pesticides sprayed on fruit while traveling.
im so glad I learned this. I have a allergic reaction to the pesticides on fruits or veggies. thank youuu
Say goodbye to almost all vitamins after sitting 15 minutes in the water
This is good to know, I didn't know how long it takes before the baking soda has effect.
How long do they stay fresh after washing?
Adding paper towels to the container helps soak the water and extends the life of any fruit or veggie. I'm not an expert but this has worked for me many many times.
Thank u bestie 🫶🏻 much love
Heres my two cents: dry them with a towel, ive notice if i dry them after they last longer *significantly longer then when i dont!
Yup, that's what we've done for years....same with salads and vegetables 👍🏽💗🙏🏽
Every woman should know this. Excellent
knowledge.
After washing, I remove maximum excess moisture without bruising the produce. If too tricky, I pat it down or let nature evaporate surface moisture on its own. Takes 2 or so hours. Then storage in the fridge.
The baking soda water leftover... Not sure if it was a fluke but I threw that water on soil where I dump tomato seeds. Had a very good harvest that one time I did that.
Storeunwashed strawberries in mason jars in the fridge with a napkin under them and they stay fresh so much longer :) don't overstack them tho
Aren't those Pyrex storage bowels the bomb? I love them
I soak my berries in water and white vinegar. Dry them and put back in the container with a paper towel. I pick out any old ones and freeze for future smoothies. It been helping with my food waste.
I’ll try this washing method, people think washing it decreases the longevity of the produce but if you put it in a airtight container in the fridge it last so much longer
I've been told by an old farm lady best way is to wash them in a mix of ⅓ vinegar ⅔ water don't rinse them , dry completely and store in aire tight container and they last for 80% longer, just rinse them before eating to remove vinegar taste. I've been doing thus method for a couple years now and all my berry produce last a long time.

Lady you are just washing berries
i actually even slice mine after washing but as long as you put paper towel in with it they will stay fresh for a week :-) this works with most fruits and veggies.
