Summer is a wonderful time to buy locally and eat seasonally. While we’ve never met any produce we didn’t like, all that washing and rinsing is an annoying, yet necessary, evil. Did you know that 7-12 litres of water is used for every minute you run your tap? The next time you schlep home some of nature’s finest, try minimizing your water consumption during the rinse cycle. Fill a large bowl with cold water and use that, not a running faucet, to scrub your spuds.
