Pre-washed produce isn’t ready to eat
Don’t buy into the promise that the bag of lettuce or carton of strawberries you’re holding were washed for you. They may have been washed at one point, but that doesn’t mean they’re ready-to-eat now. Misting produce doesn’t make them clean either.
“Things in containers or bags should be washed before eating because even if it says they’re pre-washed it’s not always the case,” says Brianna Nash, creator of Balance + Lift. Her husband Zach, who worked in a grocery store for a decade, always makes her wash everything—everything.
“All the produce is really dirty, and after putting out produce, his hands would be really black,” she shares.
