Cooking Tips: Washing vegetables
Wash fruits and vegetables with water and scrub with a dish brush when appropriate: for example, before eating apples, cucumbers, potatoes, or other produce in which the outer skin or peeling is consumed.
Throw away the outer leaves of leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and cabbage.
Peel and cook when appropriate, although some nutrients and fiber may be lost when produce is peeled.
