Many bacteria and impurities are deposited on fruit and vegetables, during their production, transportation and sale. Whilst these have been removed for centuries by simply washing with water, the Vegan Eden Company has developed a 100% natural range of cleansers for fruit and vegetables.
Made from citrus fruit, cider vinegar, herbs and vegetable gums, the Vegan Eden's gel and wipes disinfect and destroy impurities and bacteria. However, the brand doesn't say whether it also destroys pesticides on the skin of fruit and vegetables. Available as a washing solution to dilute in water, before immersing the fruit and rubbing, Vegan Eden also exists in recyclable wipes. These can also be used to disinfect babies' dummies that have fallen on the ground.
Sold on the Vegan Eden e-shop, the wipes are sold in packets of 20 for €3.99, with the 400 ml bottle of solution to dilute at €4.99.
