Same way I always have. I wash my hands before handling any food stuffs, then wash the same way under clean water.
By the way, fruits and vegetables are not a vector for Covid. One should worry more about rinsing off any chemicals fertilizers, or dirt/soils.
I wash them the way I always did, which is how @zenvelo does.
I also don’t wipe down my mail.
Same way I always washed vegetables. Water and Basic H.
I have always washed my vegetables with water, more rinsed than washed.
Depends on the item and whether or not I’m going to peel it, but essentially the same as always. I don’t treat mushrooms the same as lettuce. I wash a bell pepper a little more thoroughly than an orange, and I don’t wash bananas at all.
Produce seldom goes straight from the shopping bag to the cutting board, and once it’s rested for a little while, it’s probably effectively de-virused, if there ever was a risk from handling between the farm and my kitchen.
I used to not wash fruit or vegetables before putting them in the fridge, now I wash both before storing them.
Most items I rinse well with water. I let them sit out for a while, dry well, if there is any chance of covid hopefully it dies off, and then put it all in the fridge. Before I eat it I rinse again.
Citrus I rinse with a little soap. Doesn’t really make sense, but since it doesn’t affect the fruit I go ahead and do it.
Items that need to sit out to ripen I don’t usually worry about washing until ready to eat or before putting in the fridge.
If I’m going to cook the item I’m not worried about covid at all. I rinse it with water like I always did, but once it hits the hot pan any virus is dead.
Fruit and vegtables (raw): I put into the produce drawer for three days before using. Wash as I normally would.
Vegetables (cooked): Wash as I normally would.
Fruit and vegetable wash spray. Then rinse with water.
