Tree-Tea Oil can Banish Mold on Fruits and Vegetables
Fresh produce is undeniably delicious and healthy.
Unfortunately, it's also susceptible to the growth of gray mold known as Botrytis cinerea, particularly in warm, moist climates.
Studies have shown that tea tree oil's antifungal compounds terpinen-4-ol and 1,8-cineole may help reduce the growth of this mold on fruits and vegetables
To protect against mold, add 5–10 drops of tea tree oil to water before rinsing your produce and drying it thoroughly.
SUMMARY:Tea tree oil contains compounds that help fight the growth of mold on fruits and vegetables. Adding tea tree oil to water when rinsing produce may help your produce remain mold-free
