of course not! the idea of rinsing fruits and veggies is to get the topical germs and pesticides off a good idea is to use a bath scrubbie keep one in the kitchen just for that purpose My grandmother used to make them before they were popular.off the subject but they also work to clean tubs and sinks

There are solutions on the market especially for cleaning fruit & vegetables. (ask at your grocery). Depending on what veggie it is: use cold water for leafy & rinse several times. Do only what you are going to use as excess moisture will cause deteration.
Potato, carrot, most "root" crops will support a good scrub under warm water. Do not use detergent, UGH!! Another good source for info is the local extension office (look under government offices in phone book).

It's a very good question.
In Cairo, you must use bleach mixed with water so you know you are safe.
Look at the recent spinach with E-coli problem.... makes you wonder, doesn't it?
I use frozen (the "frozen" vege is safer than the fresh vege) and for salads... I can get by without the total "freshness"...

NO WAY! THE FOOD IS NOT LIKE YOUR DISHES. THE FOOD WILL ABSORB THE DETERGENT.
