ABOUT MY OZONE WASHED VEGETABLES & FRUITS

When most people think of ozone, they picture the layer high in the earth’s outer atmosphere that protects us from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, but this bluish gas, which sometimes can be detected as a fresh smell after a thunderstorm, is actually a valuable tool with a variety of down to earth uses.​

Ozone gas (03) is a naturally occurring tri-atomic form of oxygen (02) that is formed as sunlight passes through the atmosphere or when streaks through the air.

Ozone is effective as a disinfectant at relatively low concentrations and does not leave toxic by products similar to those related to chlorination.
