@mum_made_yum: How I prep fruit & veggies… Most fruit & veggies are sprayed with chemicals so it’s best to soak & rinse them prior to consuming. This is especially important if you’re consuming non-organic produce. I use Koala Eco fruit & veggie wash in a large bowl of water, rinse and then fully air dry on a clean tea towel. I’m always amazed at the stuff on the bottom of the bowl after soaking them (I dare you to try it yourself in a clear glass bowl). Once dried, store your fruits and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge (place a paper towel at the bottom of the container to reduce moisture and keep them fresher). Or just pack straight in your Mum Made Yum lunchbox; they’re airtight so fruits last days in the fridge when prepared ahead. Don’t forget to wash all fruits (including the ones you peel, like bananas, avocado & lemons). If they’re dirty, you’re literally cutting the dirt into the fruit when you slice them. Just think about the number of people handling your avocado at the supermarket before you purchased it. Or that apple accidentally dropped on the floor then put back on the shelf 😲 Oh and another tip I recently learned; don’t put your cucumbers in the veggies drawer. Instead bag them and place on the middle shelf. They’re last much longer. What is your fruit prep routine?
