    How to Clean Grapes

    • Facebook

    I love grapes and I eat them every day. I keep a bowl of them in the fridge at eye level so that when I open the fridge to browse for something naughty to eat, which is pretty often, I can slap myself back onto the straight and narrow with a handful of grapes. Works most of the time.

    What I don’t love is that suspect layer of gray pesticide or whatever-the-heck-it-is that coats grapes- and doesn’t easily come off.

    Sick of hand washing each individual grape, I turned to the interwebs for advice. Lo and behold there is a super slick way of washing the death away.

    Here's how to clean grapes in under a minute

    • Remove grapes from the vine, place in colander and briefly rinse with water.
    • Sprinkle 1-2 tsp. salt and baking soda over the grapes.
    • Shake the colander around for about 45 seconds.
    • Rinse very well with cold water. Salty grapes are no bueno (I just ate one)

    That’s it! Clean, safe-to-eat grapes are yours.
