🥗 The Vegetable Many People Eat Raw — But Should Be Washed Carefully
Some raw vegetables can carry dirt, bacteria, or parasites from soil, water, or handling if they are not cleaned properly.
🥬 Leafy greens and vegetables that grow close to the ground may need extra attention because tiny particles can get trapped in their layers.
âś… To reduce risk:
- Wash vegetables thoroughly under clean running water
- Remove damaged outer leaves when needed
- Keep raw foods separate from uncooked meats
- Store vegetables properly in the refrigerator
