How do you wash your fresh fruits/vegetables on the road?

What ever did we do before we knew everything we ate could kill us?????

Rinse cook enjoy

 

germs germs germs... run run run...
Have never used soap on any food...
Grew up on a ranch, hang fresh meat for 3 days to age... before eating... at room temp.
Dry pronghorn meat in the sun... great jerky and tasty
Wash the dirt of the strawberries if needed...
Rinse veggies with running water..
hungry while picking, rub on sleeve, eat...
Catch a fish, gut it, back to fishing... maybe dip in the creek once in a while..
Gives the immune system something to do..
Better to fight off the bugs you health freeks carry around from all your washing.
I haul produce, still buy apples, peaches, grapes, rinse and eat.

 

that's all fine but grocery store meat and produce just isn't the same thing at all and you should know that. It's not the bugs and dirt, it fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and bacteria from processing and handling, you should know that too.

 

Do the same with the veggies fruit I buy at the grocery store..
Nothing special. just rinse and eat. Not scared of what little contaminate might be on it.

 

I am glad I looked at the title of this thread again after reading all the post I thought I needed to wash my taters, and maters again pick wipe on shirt, salt pepper and eat.
same with the raw taters, and onions too, and the Doc ain't found nothing wrong with me yet, onions clear out the insides real well, flu bug and other junk has no chance with me eating onions, and a cup of percolator coffee, watch out in the crapper the next morning.

 

No No No! Washing food in the toilet? Peeing on your food? That is completely unsanitary. Do NOT listen to these fools.

This is what I do. Take a big swig of water from the bottle and spit it out in a slow stream over the food, while rubbing it good w/ your hands. The water lands beside the truck, as I'm sitting in the drivers seat w/ the door cracked so no one can see me.

In cold weather I leave the perishables on the hood overnight, and to cook potatoes, I wrap them in foil and pop em in the exhaust pipes. This also helps quiet down the engine noise.

Also, for some truly fresh food, one could put some traps and bait under the truck. But if it's fresh veggies you want, don't go foraging too near the truck-lot, especially at night.
