MIY (Make it Yourself): Veggie Spray

My mother-in-law told me about a home-made veggie spray recipe that she saw on the Oprah show to remove pesticides from your fruits and veggies. I was so excited about it that I looked it up and wanted to try it out right away. I will let you know how it goes. Here’s the recipe:

Sophie Uliano’s Veggie Cleaner Spray

From Oprah’s Earth Day Event

(If you can’t buy organic produce, you need to make sure you wash it thoroughly. Use this spray to make sure your fruit and vegetables are squeaky clean)

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. baking soda
• 20 drops of grapefruit seed extract

Combine all ingredients in a large container. Then, transfer to a spray bottle with a pump. Spray mixture on produce, and rinse thoroughly after 5 to 10 minutes.
