The visible portion of crud which came off after washing in dish washing detergent (Dawn®), and a wee bit of common, unscented household bleach.
Bluntly, hells fucking YES!!
And pandemic goofiness aside, AT ALL TIMES one (meaning YOU, dear reader) should wash fresh produce with a bit of unscented dish washing soap/detergent, and a wee bit of unscented common, household bleach.
No one knows what kind of “cooties,” germs, pathogens, bacteria, and otherwise bad “bugs” – including bug poo – have settled upon fresh produce.
In this example, I washed a bunch of celery, 3 green bell peppers, a bunch of cilantro, several jalapeño peppers, and 2 heads of broccoli.
How did I wash them?
In a basin of cool water I dissolved some Dawn® brand unscented dishwashing detergent/soap, and about a quarter cup of common, unscented household bleach. Suds are NOT necessary.
Simply dissolve the additive ingredients by gently stirring the water. The basin should be at least half full of water.
