| 3320.1 | salt to rid green worms | STUDIO::PELUSO | PAINTS; color your corral | Thu Nov 14 1991 08:39 | 5 |
| When I use fresh veggies, I clean the sink well, fill with warm water
and add salt. When I do this, espicially with fresh brocolli (SP),
peppers, lettuce, I find little green worms floating around. They
come out right away too! Then I rinse well and do what ever I
was planning to do with them.

Neat! I hate it when those yecchhy worms appear on my plate. And it
seems that with the curly-leaved stuff, I spend forever poking around
looking fo the little critters, and still don't get them all!
thanks,

I found out about this while talking `gardens' w/ a coworker, and I
told him how much I loved home grown brocolli (SP), and then, he tells
me about the worms......it was quite awhile before I ate brocolli
again, and then I always soak it.

| re. -2
How much salt and how long do you soak it?
thanks

| 3320.5 | You can soak lettuce, too | TNPUBS::STEINHART | | Fri Nov 15 1991 09:15 | 7 |
| You can do the same thing with lettuce, particularly Romaine, if you
are very partick-lar.
Kosher cooks do this routinely, because eating worms and other bugs is
a major no-no.

| The little green worms that you find on broccoli are cabbage butterfly
caterpillars. Cabbage butterflies are the small white ones you see all over
the place.

| how much? I never really measured.....I may fill a bowl or sink basin
with warm water and add about...if you cupped your hand and poured
salt into the center....whats that about a tablespoon?
I'm not Kosher, but I think eating bugs is gross!

| 3320.8 | cider vinegar | CSCOAC::WILLIAMS_L | | Thu Dec 26 1991 15:49 | 5 |
| A friend of mine dips/cleans all fresh veggies and fruits in cider
vinegar, then rinses in water before cooking/eating. She saids it gets
rid of the pesticides.

| I've also used dishwashing liquid. You find that it removes the oily
residue on produce. Of course you can't use this method on lettuce.
