Notes

  • Use organic or locally sourced produce from small farmers.
  • If you can't access organic produce, soak your produce in bicarbonate of soda water for about 10 mins, clean and rinse.
  • I use the lemon with skin and seeds; feel free to remove them (read the post).
  • I do not peel the vegetables; feel free to do so if you prefer to.
