Tips For Shopping Smart at the Fredericksburg Farmers' Markets : 

• Buy only the amount you can use in a short period of time to avoid having to throw away spoiled produce. Always Look for produce that is free from unusual odors or colors and signs of spoilage such as mold. When buying cut produce, keep it cold during transport. Put it in a cooler with ice if traveling a distance.
• Handle produce gently to reduce bruising. Bacteria can thrive in the bruised areas. At the grocery store, keep fresh produce on top of other foods in a shopping cart — and separate from fresh meat — and set it down gently on the counter at the checkout line.
• Remember that buying underripe produce isn't always the best option. Peaches, cantaloupe and nectarines are examples of fruits that may soften during storage, but they won't ripen. 
• Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water before handling produce and any other food. Wash all fruits and vegetables with cool running tap water right before eating. Don't use dish soap or detergent because the FDA hasn’t approved or labeled these products for use on foods. Scrub melons with a brush and running water, because bacteria can be transferred from the outside of the melon to the inside by a knife. Don't cross-contaminate: Use clean utensils and cutting boards when peeling or cutting up produce. Wash cutting boards with soap and water, rinse and sanitize between uses. A solution of 1 teaspoon bleach per quart of water is considered safe and effective.
• Cut away bruised parts before eating. Remove the outer leaves from lettuce and cabbage. Avoid serving sprouts to at-risk populations like the very young, old, or those whose immune system isn't able to function at normal levels. For example, people undergoing cancer treatment often cannot eat fresh produce.
