28. Wash fruits and vegetables

Rinsing produce under running water remains the primary recommendation, yet a brief soak in a large bowl of water with added apple cider vinegar can help loosen dirt and reduce certain surface microbes. After soaking, rinse thoroughly to remove residual acidity and debris. Drying delicate berries on a clean towel can extend freshness. ACV wash does not guarantee removal of all pathogens, so continue practicing safe handling and refrigeration.
