How To Wash Your Berries The RIGHT Way, According To a Produce Pro

According to the President of NYC's Citarella gourmet market, the key is to dip them in one part white vinegar and three parts water.

The top berries didn't even touch the water. Hummm....

I soak mine in the vinegar and water and I cover them to remove the pesticide because they say they are one of the most contaminated fruits. I let them soak for about 20 minutes and they don’t absorb the vinegar taste but I pour off the vinegar and water then rinse them under cold running tap water in a colander and I don’t have any complaints about the taste. That lady didn’t even cover them in the water and you can’t dissolve the dirt and pesticides and get them off that fast. I see lots of dirt in the bottom of my white bowl with my method. I just watched a video about soaking them in salt water and it makes little worms and bugs come out I’m going to check my next batch to see if it’s true.

Soak them and rinse them afterward. It does not adversely affect the flavour. They do last longer, but it also removes the bugs/worms that get into them--if that's a concern to you. You've been eating them without knowing.... I soak them at least 30 minutes.

She didn't even cover the berries in the liquid.

Stop the fucking clapping she did nothing 😂

strawberries are 92% water and won’t absorb the flavor of vinegar because of that according to another video i watched with a different method. idk!

She didn't rinse the berries after the vinegar water, did she?😅

[bennyhope]

Not according to chefs that clearly said to soak them for 15 minutes
