A quick soak in bicarb water removes surface residue from fresh produce far more effectively than rinsing alone. I do this every time I bring fresh fruit and vegetables home — it takes five minutes and costs almost nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHERO INGREDIENT — Bicarbonate of Soda (Food Grade)\u003cbr\u003eResearch has shown that a Bicarbonate of Soda solution is more effective than plain water alone at removing certain surface residues from fresh produce. It works because bicarb is mildly alkaline, which helps break down residues that sit on the waxy outer layer of fruits and vegetables. Always rinse thoroughly after soaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT ELSE IS IN THIS RECIPE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold tap water — the carrier — cold water is used specifically to avoid wilting delicate produce like berries and leafy greens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ingredients used in this recipe are available at homemadehaven.com.au\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall Batch • Handcrafted in Australia • homemadehaven.com.au\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Homemade Haven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52070385058085,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2188\/1893\/files\/CopyofFruit_VeggieSoakRecipeCard.png?v=1776158912","url":"https:\/\/homemadehaven.com.au\/products\/diy-fruit-and-vegetable-soak-recipe-card","provider":"Homemade Haven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
