When prepping fruits and vegetables before cooking, do you cut them before washing or wash them before cutting? Different people have different methods. Some believe in washing them before cutting, while others prefer the opposite. Some even say it depends on the type of produce. Certain types of vegetables should be washed before cutting: First, washing the whole bunch of leafy greens is easier than washing them after they are cut into small pieces. It’s difficult to clean soil and sand that get stuck in the small pieces. Washing the whole bunch under running water helps remove more dirt. But if you have already cut them, it becomes harder to wash under running water and requires soaking in a bowl. Second, cutting vegetables before washing can lead to a loss of nutrients, especially vitamin B and C. Cutting exposes the vegetable to more water, causing a loss of chlorophyll, which contains these vitamins. Some studies have shown that the regular process of washing vegetables ca...
