We all know that we shouldwash our producebefore eating it.

But when washing produce becomes a hassle due to the fruits size (hello, watermelons and cantaloupes!

), are you prone to digging in without giving your fruit a rinse?

Dry the melon off, and its ready to besliced and served.

Gently scrub the outside of the fruit for at least 10 seconds.

Dry your fruit and slice or serve right away.

Wash with Vinegar

Vinegar is a great all-natural option for washing fruit.

For smaller fruits, dunk the fruit into the mixture and gently scrub.

Forlarger fruits like watermelonand cantaloupe, pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the fruit.

Gently scrub the fruits skin, rinse under the faucet, and prepare your fruit for eating.
