Salt

We wash all incoming fruit and vegetables in salted water, but lately our usual suppliers (Ocado/Waitrose) seem to have run low, and most of the stuff on the www is overpriced ‘gourmet’ stuff.
Anyone else experiencing difficulties?

Some veg marked 'prewashed' will get washed in a very mild solution of 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and 16.5% sodium chloride (NaCl; common salt). This is the same solution @ 1:80 dilution that is used to sterilise babies' feeding utensils, including baby bottles. Hardly going to kill you allen is it?
Those veg marked 'wash before consumption' can simply be washed in water. The really nasty things (pesticides and insecticides) are not so much ON the fruit/veg as IN them, as these products are systemic. The only way to avoid consuming these chemicals (all be it in minute quantities) is to eat organic produce.

You are not trying hard enough.. go on Amazon and type in table salt. They have shed loads..

Bleach: packages and similar, where water washing would be inappropriate.
Amazon: your link is to a 50lb bag (not any more... once upon a time).

cheap salt, useful for cooking, table-salt, and washing!

(PS Amazon are just starting a 'shop at Morrisons' service, which looks possible, and they DO a cheap 1.5kg packet of cooking salt).
