I think I'm going to continue washing apples, cucumbers, things like that.

I was a farmer; you should. Especially potatoes and fruit.

There's not even any dirt on potatoes. They must pressure wash them, (you also don't eat them raw).

I worked in a produce department for a bit and the lettuce definitely had dirt and the occasional bug in it before we trimmed and rinsed it

You should know that lettuce is not a potato then.

Lettuce is also the most common vegetable to be infected by salmonella.

All lettuce or certain varieties?
