Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Even the skins of Grandma's tender, garden-fresh zucchini had a slightly gritty texture that was not removed by a quick rinse under the faucet. To easily remove the grit, Grandma cleaned the zucchini with a soft vegetable brush under running water. When fruit and vegetable cleaning sprays became available, she discovered they worked equally well.
