Should you wash your fruits?
Fruit needs to be washed.
Even the shiniest apples should be washed unless you are 100% sure of what is on the apple. Like anything grown outside, fruits will get dirty. Some fruits are self-contained like the banana, but some are not, so even if you plan to peel off the skin, it is a good idea to wash them first.
Now I have not tried the following, but this was sent to be me via Facebook, so I wanted to share it with my followers.
I am a big believer that you need to check your fruit often. If one goes bad, they will infect the rest.
It is also essential to store your fruit properly. If an item was in a cooler when purchased, it should be stored in a refrigerator or cold storage. However, some things seem to do better out of the cold, like banana, tomatoes, etc...
There is a lot of information online. One site I found for strawberries has a ton of great information. They also have an excellent site for bananas.
