Brilio.net - Many people like grapes because they taste sweet and fresh. Reporting from australiangrapes.com.au, people often consume grapes because they are rich in antioxidants, potassium, fiber and various vitamins that the body needs to stay healthy.
Before consuming grapes , it is best to wash them first until they are clean of germs and the wax layer on the surface. Grapes can indeed be cleaned with special food soap which is widely sold on the market. However, some people choose to avoid it, because sometimes soap still contains chemicals that are not good for health.
Instead, wine can be cleaned with kitchen ingredients, such as vinegar, flour, or others. However, the owner of the TikTok account @rianaayu86 has a different method. Quoted by BrilioFood from the TikTok account @rianaayu86 on Wednesday (31/7), he has two other kitchen ingredients which are said to be no less effective for removing germs and wax layers on grapes.

You need to prepare a container first to wash the grapes. The owner of the TikTok account @rianaayu86 uses a special container to wash food that has a filter. Then, fill the container with enough salt and baking soda. Yup, those are the two core kitchen ingredients for washing grapes.
After the salt and baking soda are added, then dissolve them in clean water. Use quite a lot of clean water so that it is enough to soak all the grapes later.

If you have been given water, immediately add the wine. TikTok account user @rianaayu86 releases the grapes one by one from the stem. Then, soak the wine for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

After soaking, rub the grapes gently. Then, drain the grapes from the salt and baking soda solution. The owner of the TikTok account @rianaayu86 said that the soaking water will turn cloudy because it has succeeded in washing away the germs and wax coating on the wine.

After draining, rinse the grapes one or two more times until they are completely clean. Then, drain the wine and it's ready to enjoy.
"Rinse with drinking water," emphasized the owner of the TikTok account @rianaayu86.
So, what, do you have another way or are you interested in trying this method for washing grapes from the TikTok account user @rianaayu86?
"Why does it have to be baking soda," asked a netizen on the TikTok account @citrabeautyy, then the video owner replied, "According to some of the literature I have read, baking soda/can also be baking soda can help clean fruit and vegetables from pesticide contamination, naturally and effectively. Sis. Baking soda itself comes from sodium bicarbonate or pure sodium bicarbonate and is alkaline, so God willing, it is more natural than using conventional fruit and vegetable washing soap."
