The Natural Root Vegetable Brush is handmade from a root grass native to Mexico, called “zacaton,” with very rigid roots that make great scouring brushes for cleaning pots and scrubbing vegetables. This multifunctional natural brush is a perfect zero waste kitchen tool.
The Natural Root Vegetable Brush is made by a cooperative in Mexico that provides environmentally and economically sustainable opportunities to its communities.
Root vegetable brushes are great for:
- Ensuring that their fruits and vegetables, especially root vegetables, are adequately cleaned
- Allowing one to get rid of the pesticides that may be lingering on the produce skin
- Cleaning the waxed fruits and vegetables more effortlessly and effectively
Once you get a good root vegetable brush, you will never want to go back to not using one as you will always want to have properly scrubbed fruits and vegetables.
* Please note that the Natural Root Vegetable Brush colour may vary as this is a natural product.

FAQ
How to Use
The most sustainable and water-conservative way to clean your root vegetables using the Natural Root Vegetable Brush is to set a small sink of water where you will be scrubbing the vegetables in the water lightly on all sides. We also recommend pressing more heavily for the vegetables with a larger quantity of visible dirt.
The Natural Root Vegetable Brush should be replaced when the bristles are significantly worn down.
Care Instructions
After every use of the Natural Root Vegetable Brush, we suggested rinsing it properly and letting it dry completely before storing away. Proper drying of the brush prevents bacteria and other pathogens from growing.
