Produce Wash

I have a confession to make. I do not usually wash my produce. Oh, I scrub the dirt off the potatoes before I bake them, and rinse my celery, but most of the rest of it I just chop up and eat. So this is an extremely odd sight for me:

Not sure I'm doing it right, but I looked up this homemade organic fruit and vegetable wash on Videojug:

  • 1 Tb fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 Tb vinegar
  • 1 cup water
...and now I've got half of my produce (that was all I could get washed before rehearsal) air drying on a towel by my sink.

I guess it looks clean. My friend Debi says it will taste better, so that's gotta be good. But does anyone know, do I put them back in the bags they came in now, or what?

I think I'm just going to go to bed and hope someone answers my question before I have to go to work tomorrow. (Because as colorful as they are, I don't want these food items to become a permanent fixture on my kitchen counter!)

Any help? Thanks!
