Washing Produce: A Simple Step That Supports Athlete Health and Performance

Washing produce might seem like a basic kitchen habit, but it’s one that often gets overlooked—especially for busy college athletes.

For students, that first semester can feel like a crash course in figuring out how to actually feed yourself. For parents, it’s a different kind of worry: you spent years making sure there was always something in the fridge, and now you’re handing that over to someone who maybe made scrambled eggs once. This guide is for both of you.
