How to disinfect vegetables bought during the epidemic?

Disinfection methods of vegetables purchased during the epidemic;

Generally speaking, we can disinfect the outer packaging of fruits and vegetables, but it is not recommended to use chemical disinfectants to disinfect the fruits and vegetables themselves. Generally speaking, we just need to clean them. If disinfection is really necessary, you can use the disinfectant with fruits and vegetables on file purchased from regular channels, soak for 10-30 minutes according to the recommended concentration in the manual, and then rinse with running water to remove the residual disinfectant.

In addition, the concentration of disinfectant is not as high as possible, and the concentration of each disinfectant is different. It is necessary to prepare in strict accordance with the product instructions, and it is best to prepare now. High concentrations of disinfectants are usually more corrosive and irritating, and the risk of residue is greater.

It is worth noting that 75% ethanol is one of the most commonly used disinfectants, but it is not suitable for direct spraying on fruits, vegetables or eggs for disinfection. Especially leafy vegetables, spraying alcohol will lead to premature aging and precocity of vegetables.
