Do not fix homemade beets, spinach, carrots or cabbage. Clean hands for 15 seconds thoroughly. Wash between fingers, under fingernails and up to the wrist in warm soapy water. Dry with a clean towel. For cutting boards, use a non-porous, smooth surface.
Wood is fine as long as it is cleaned properly.
To clean, put cutting boards in dishwasher and run through the complete cycle, including the steam dry process. If a dishwasher is not available, hand wash cutting boards by scrubbing in hot, soapy water and rinse in clean water. If automatic dishwashing is not available, only scratch-free cutting boards are to be used. Your county Extension office has more information on nutrition and food preparation.
