Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Purchase sea salt from a local grocer or health food specialty store. Make sure that the sea salt that is purchased is in a fine grain, as opposed to large chunks which take more time to dissolve.
-
Step 2
Clean the area where the vegetables or fruit will be soaked and rinse this area very well to avoid contaminating the produce with household cleaners. Make sure that your hands are washed well.
-
Step 3
Rinse the fruit or vegetables with clean, running water, making sure to brush off any dirt with a produce cleaning brush. For leafy vegetables, such as cabbage or lettuce, remove the outer layer of leaves before soaking.
-
Step 4
Prepare a basin or large container with a sea salt water solution with roughly a teaspoon of sea salt to a cup of water. Stir the solution with the teaspoon until the sea salt dissolves completely.
-
Step 5
Soak the produce in the basin for two minutes, and then rinse thoroughly in running water before serving. If the produce has a hard rind, use a vegetable brush to scrub it with the solution, and then rinse it well.
-
Step 6
Dry the produce with a clean cloth or towel. Discard the sea salt solution and clean out the basin with fresh water.
