Notes

 

IT’S FARR BETTER TO EDUCATE YOURSELF:

If you have severe allergies, find ingredients made from an allergy safe facility. Manufacturers must state that information on the product.

Remember if you have an allergy to an ingredient, eliminate it from the recipe.

Earth’s Natural Fruit & Vegetable Wash was scientifically developed to clean produce and help it taste better… the way Mother Nature made it. Our wash is highly effective on both whole and processed produce. It is a plant-based concentrate designed to remove 95% or more chemicals and harmful toxins.

It’s very important to protect you, your family and loved ones by washing the produce before you eat it. Look at the water through a clear glass after a wash to see what gets pulled out of your produce, for example, strawberries. Then tell yourself and your family, “Here, drink this”. 100% of the time people will never drink the contaminated water ever. Knowing what you know, don’t let anyone eat produce before it’s cleaned. Let’s start living a healthy lifestyle.
