Great link Tzvi.

np, One thing I have to tell you though about green leafy vegetables is that you have to clean them the right way and get rid of all the small bugs for Kashrut purposes. Their are bugs that you cant even see with the naked  eye, but if you take a paper towel, but a green leafy vegetable on top of it and let put it under the sun you will then see spots on the paper towel. Ever since I found out about this I told my mom and we brought this special soap (or whateva it is) and apply to our vegetables that we eat. If you live in a Jewish are, ask around and go to a Jewish store and buy it. Then apply as directed or ask the orthodox owner or a Rabbi (if not I can help you out) about how to apply it. Then enjoy your healthy kosher fruits and vegetables.
 Remember every bug you eat its deserving to 39 (I belive thats the # not sure) lashes and its like eating pork.

Speaking of healthy food, this is one of the reasons that I always try to buy organic food.  I noticed that organic and garden grown leafy vegetables have a lot of small bugs on them.  I would go through 5-6 washing cycles and still see small bugs floating in the water.  When purchasing non-organic leafy vegetables I never see any bugs.  Makes you wonder what they're using on the non-organic stuff.

After that why would you buy organic vegetables and eat them? You need to buy the special soap I told you about and apply it, if not you are eating bugs- which is like eating pork.

Tzvi, I don't agree with your opinion on how to clean leafy vegetables.  If you freeze them, it kills all the bugs and you just have to wash it w/o inspecting.  Also, my family custom is to not go through that long process you outline but simply to rinse them under water and inspect them under regular light and the customs of your parents are Torah.  They didn't have no special soap and only used candle light back in the day.  I would not buy organic leafy produce since organic doesn't use pesticide which usually kills all the bugs, so organic produce has to be inspected more thorough so it isn't worth buying it if you eat Kosher.

The Rabbanim say that even when the bugs die they attach to the vegetable and its still needed to remove them. Honestly its not soo long ago that I started doing it this way, I never realized that bugs attach to vegetables but when I found out its a problem I didnt eat vegetables until I found out to do it that way.

Tzvi, what is the name of the soap?

[Tzvi Ben Roshel1]

Clean Greens.

-It doesnt necessarily have to be that company, but you should find out and do it. I also heard something about salt water ( but dont know much about it).

Vinegar will do the trick, too, won't it?

Well, I am not Jewish so I do not keep kosher.  Given that, I would prefer to eat fruits and vegetables that have not been sprayed and treated with pesticide.  I do wash everything thoroughly, though, since, regardless of whether I keep kosher or not, I do not have a desire to eat bugs.  Maybe the soap isn't a bad idea after all.

Yes, but you have to let it sit in the vinegar for a while. I'm not sure, but I think at least 30-45 mins

[JewishTeddyBear]

by far, the most important thing you can eat or drink is also the world's most boring drink, and that plain, old fashioned water.  and the healthiest food that one can eat, is fish, especially wild salmon, but also sardines and herring
