Default Veggie wash/rinse

Quick question.

When you wash (or rinse) your veggies, would a very slightly
soapy (few drops of regular liquid dish soap) be better than a
while vinegar wash? Or should I do both?

I usually do both but wonder if I should eliminate one or the
other or continue with both.

Regards
Lin

I wouldn't use dish soap at all. If you feel the need to use more
than just water to soak and rinse your veggies, there are vgetable
washes available in stores. Usually though, all you need is a good
soak and a rinse to remove any dirt or residues.

I've read not to use soap on your food. It may not fully rinse off.

Call me daring but I just use water to rinse. I do try to buy organic but
this doesn't always happen. I bought a bunch of produce today and none of
it was organic. The store I was at does have organic but not a lot of
selection.

I just rinse with cold water and usually use a little veggie scrub
brush.
