Vegetable and Fruit Bleaching


Part of the daily routine in Guangzhou is a trip to the vegetable and fruit market.  Thank goodness they are both in the same location! So off we go to purchase whatever is for dinner.  We have a very small refrigerator and our capacity to carry much back isn’t overwhelming either so it all works out.

All produce must be scrubbed in bleach water.  The irrigation system here leaves a lot to be desired and requires that everything must be scrubbed with bleach before it can be consumed.  I will leave the rest of that piece to your imagination!  Two drops of Chinese bleach in a bowl of water pretty much takes care of  the issues and has managed to keep us healthy while we are here!
