Vegetables are a true nécessité. They are full of vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, zinc, folic acid, fiber, vitamin C, phosphorus, and magnesium to name a few. They nourish our bones, blood cells, eyes, hair, nails, organs and more. Our produce, such as vegetables can sometimes contain little bugs and other dirt, so it is important to get rid of them instead of eating them.

Here I’ll show you a simple and quick way of washing both broccoli and kale.

If your items have skin such as potatoes or zucchini, I would suggest using a vegetable brush with a non-toxic soap or spray with a mixture of white vinegar and water. Gently scrub, rinse, dry and enjoy.

Here’s to clean eating.
