Do you wash your fruit and veggies before storing them? If not, you might be leaving behind dirt, bacteria, and other residues that can cause your produce to spoil more quickly. Proper cleaning ensures your fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer, and Strucket makes it easy.
Why Cleaning Your Produce Matters
When fruits and vegetables travel from farm to store to your home, they pick up dirt, germs, and other residues. Washing your produce thoroughly before storage helps remove these contaminants and slows down the spoiling process.
Step 1: Wash Berries with the Strucket Mini
After grocery shopping, instead of tossing berries straight into the fridge, use the Strucket Mini to clean them properly:
- Salt Solution: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt in the Strucket Mini filled with water. The salt solution helps clean the surface of your berries.
- Gentle Agitation: Gently agitate the berries in the Strucket Mini to ensure thorough cleaning without damaging the fruit.
- Hands-Free Straining: Thanks to the Strucket Mini's interlocking design, you can easily strain the berries by lifting the strainer and letting the water drain without touching the fruit.
- Dry Thoroughly: Spread the berries on a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Proper drying prevents mould and helps your berries last longer.
Step 2: Clean Veggies with the Strucket 19L
For larger produce like leafy greens, carrots, and cucumbers, use the Strucket 19L:
- Deep Clean: Fill the Strucket 19L with water, add your veggies, and agitate to wash off dirt and contaminants.
- Strain and Drain: Lift the strainer and attach it to the top of the Strucket, then use the built-in plug to drain the water. The hands-free system is ideal for washing bulkier produce.
- Rinse and Store: After washing, give your veggies a final rinse, dry them off, and store them in the fridge to keep them fresh.
