How to wash grapes properly

It’s very important to wash well vegetables and fruits before cooking or eating them.

Grapes are quite expensive in the Philippines so we rarely eat grapes. I remember we only eat grapes during Christmas, New Year and when someone is sick. Haha. Really, I’m not kidding. ;p

That is why I have no idea on how to wash grapes properly.  I just learned how to wash grapes through my husband(of course with the help of internet…haha)

How to wash grapes:

1. Cut the small stems of the grapes which are connected to the main stem.

2. You’ll have smaller bunches of grapes like in the picture. Remove the spoiled ones.

3. Wash the grapes and soak it in water for few minutes. After few minutes, you will see some dirty stuff starts to float on the water.

4. Wash again with running water. Gently rub the grapes using your fingers with washing it in running water. Drain the water.

5.  Mix 1/2 tsp. of baking soda with  water(enough to soak the grapes).

6. Soak the grapes for 20 minutes. Baking soda is effective and safe for cleaning vegetables and fruits.

7. After 20 minutes, drain the water and wash the grapes again with running water. Don’t forget to rub the skin of grapes gently^^. Then drain it well again. Done!

You can it eat it right away or you could put it in a clean container and put it inside the ref if you prefer to eat it cold. 🙂
