We try our best to buy organic produce whenever possible. But sometimes it may not be available or as fresh and so we resort to buying the best that's available. It's recommended that we, of course, wash all fresh produce to remove any germs or pesticides. There are expensive veggie washes out there, but I've learned that an inexpensive one exists that we already have right in our cupboards...pure baking soda. When scrubbed on and rinsed with water it not only removes all germs and pesticide residue, but usually removes the wax that is applied to fruits. Once in a while, though, the skin may still be too waxy and therefore it's recommended we peel the skin off before eating. Since my kids were toddlers, they enjoyed eating whole fruits. Cool fruits are a great treat for teethers. But they usually become slippery and slimy after being in their mouths and often end up on the floor. My solution was to use corn holders, which usually only got use for a couple of months in summer. And Voila! You've got handles that even the littlest of hands can grip easily. Try it and Enjoy!
