I would use baking soda to soak my vegetables and then rinse well.

There is food grade hydrogen peroxide out there. That is what you would want to use. I have a whole case of it. I'd send you a bottle if I knew where you lived, lol You can order it on line if you do not have a store that sells it locally.

I agree with python Why! There are plenty of other things to wash your vegetables in. Don't wash them in peroxide.

Yes, you can use hydrogen peroxide; this would be very effective. Just be sure to rinse it off your vegetables throughly, because ingestion of hydrogen peroxide is toxic.
