Produce is touched by tons of people in a grocery store and could also still have pesticide residue on the surface. Cleaning it will remove any harmful chemicals and germs.<\/p>\n<p>If you do it too soon, though, you could encourage bacteria growth by allowing the fruits and vegetables to sit in water. The additional moisture could also cause some varieties of fruit and vegetables to spoil. Plus, if you\u2019re rifling through your produce drawer, you could reintroduce germs from your hands.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/MineSign-Stackable-Containers-Refrigerator-Organization\/dp\/B08BYJX8HJ?tag=lifesavvysite-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51stdKh5xBL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While there are exceptions (think cleaning lettuce and storing it with paper towels), for the most part, you should be washing your produce just before eating to ensure that it\u2019s as clean as possible before consumption.
