if you want to wash all your grapes quickly, put them in a plastic bag, fill it with some water, and do it like a washing machine, side to side, in circles, etc. put them in a stainer, and rinse a last time.

Just got out the car scratching my testies....cough a few times in my hand- because that's nasty! Grab a few grapes out of the bag....taste one, and it's not sweet as I like, and toss the others back in the bag. Do it again with the green ones this time, and they're not sweet either. So yeah, don't wash it....it's harmless pubes and germs.

@karenbernard6041 2 жыл бұрын

You can't throughly washing them on the stem. You have to take every one of them off the stem, wash them completely, bag them in any sized freezer bag and then you can freeze them.

Conventional or non-organic grapes are loaded with harmful pesticides, which she didn't mention, but this solution is supposed to remove 98% of these pesticides after a 5-10 minute soak and rinse.
