There are lots weird of things on the internet, and I often find myself going down rabbit holes of the most surprising subjects. I read some advice about cleaning last week, and let me tell you, the world is a funny place! But it’s not just cleaning tips that interest me — I’m very into what’s to eat and what to cook. What is most interesting to me is that only now are we beginning to learn the truth about what is actually in our food.
Speaking of food, here’s a little guilty pleasure: I’m not the greatest in the kitchen when it comes to cooking. I can cook an okay meal, to be sure, but more often than not, I’m Googling “how to boil an egg” or “can you eat this if it’s expired?” (Spoiler alert: that yogurt was yet another bad idea.) So when I came across a rundown of foods you shouldn’t wash before cooking, my first reaction was, “Wait, what?” I honestly thought we were doing everything we were supposed to do.
In my family, cleaning everything was a form of papal law and not taken lightly. If it went anywhere near the stove, it was first given a good rinse. My mother always made me do this, and if I’m being honest, I’ve totally kept up this tradition well into my adult years, too. However, there are a few foods that don’t require washing. I was surprised to find that some foods can actually be worse off after a good wash. So I thought I’d pass it along. I have some ideas that might just change your kitchen life.
