After returning from the store, Cross spends about 30 minutes washing all the fruits, vegetables, and herbs. First, she rinses them under cold water for two minutes, washing away any remaining dirt. Next, the products should be soaked in a solution of vinegar and water and left for us for 15-20 minutes to kill the mold spores. The only thing left to do is to wipe dry and put it in the refrigerator.

Avocados, lemons, and other vegetables should always have their stickers removed. And peppers, lettuce, cucumbers, and potatoes should be washed separately from the rest of the food. After washing, lettuce should be dried in a special appliance.
This way, vegetables and fruits will last longer.

When this process is complete, leave the products on the table for 2-3 hours to dry completely. It is best to put them on kitchen towels. After that, put all the food in the refrigerator.
