Luckily, because there is no cold storage here, everything tastes fresh and fantastic when washed. As you can see from the close up below, the colors are beautiful, too. This is a selection of various chilis, tomatoes, baby cucumbers (the round yellow and green striped things), carrots and apples.
Usually I only make the effort for apples, honestly, and everything else gets cooked. I suppose I could ask Sarwary to wash and clean everything if I really wanted fresh, raw fruits and veggies. But, honestly, I don't always trust even the bleach to kill the bad germs, so I've mostly just given up salad an unpealed fruits and vegetables for the duration of our stay here. Luckily, most fruits have a peal!

I've always wondered: do you soak lettuce in bleach? And if you do, can you get it all rinsed?
I helped make dinner once in a missionary's home in Dominican Republic, and she soaked lots of things but not the carrots because I peeled them. But wouldn't the germs get on your hands while you peel and back onto the carrot?
