ABSTRACT:
Produce, whether vegetable and/or fruit, is supported upon a basket suspended within a closed cabinet. Each of a plurality of nozzles disposed about the basket emits a droplet permeated cone of washing liquid to scour the produce and to dislodge by agitation and flotation debris therefrom. A motive device provides motion to the basket to enhance exposure of the produce to the plurality of nozzles. After filtering the washing fluid through a screen in the cabinet, the washing fluid is recycled by a pump pumping the washing fluid from a collection trough to the plurality of nozzles. Preferably, the washing fluid is slightly acidic. The produce may be subjected to a rinsing fluid after washing is completed.
