I soak everything!! But not onions....they are peeled....and even soak potatoes, etc that will be boiled...l I am prone to digestive upset..and wash at home NOB too....esp. Driscoll berries from here!!
My motto:
Boil it, peel it, or forget it....
Especially here where water is not as reliably safe as NOB..Canada specifically, not Flint Michigan!!
Having taken a food safety course recently for Hospice volunteering, it is highly recommended to 'treat' your food.......just sayin.......
