When cleaning bobs is very expensive, some people will buy the well-washed bobs on the market, but the price may be twice as much as the whole unwashed bobs, and the portion is only one-half. According to The Takeout, if you want to wash the boring thoroughly, experts say that you can add some vinegar to the water, soak it and then wash it with clean water. The dirt and agricultural medicine can be washed clean, and there will be no vinegar smell on the dishes.

report points out that when choosing to buy chard, you should first touch the pedicle, and choose the pedicle that feels hard and solid, with no broken leaves, no wilt or any spots. In addition, the appearance of the bolete should look fresh to ensure that it has a longer shelf life after cleaning. Of course, the correct storage method is also very important.

After buying the leaves of the outer layer, you can first remove the outermost leaf and discard it, because the outer layer leaves usually wither or get rid of it, and are most likely to have dirt and killing agents. Lettuce or romaine should be placed all the leaves until only the heart of the vegetable is left.

After removing the outermost leaf of the chard, cut it in half or quarter so that the soil placed in the leaf layer can be exposed. The fastest way to clean is to place the cut borer or the scrubber into a filter basin, wash it with flowing water, and wipe each leaf gently with your hands to wash away any remaining dirt.

If you want to wash more thoroughly, you can pour cold water or room temperature water into a large bowl, and then add white vinegar or apple vinegar. The acid in the vinegar can naturally remove bacteria and agricultural medicine. The ratio of water to vinegar is four to one. Soak the leaves in the vinegar mixture for ten minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure complete cleanliness. Finally, wash the leaves under flowing water to wash away the remaining dirt or vinegar smell.

Before putting the washed caramel in the refrigerator, make sure the leaves are dry. This is very important, because too much moisture may breed bacteria and make the leaves less crispy. You can use a gadget like a salad drainer to remove excess moisture. If you don’t have similar tools, you can also use a clean kitchen towel to pat dry each leaf.

Finally, wrap the washed and dry lettuce in a clean kitchen towel, put it in a sealed bag and drain the air, or put it in a sealed container and then put it in the refrigerator. This will allow you to enjoy clean, crisp and delicious lettuce at a much cheaper price than bags of lettuce.
