If it's like a banana, mango, or orange, I don't wash it at all. If it's something that I'll be eating whole, then I'll rinse it longer (apple) If it's something that's "dirty" (certain greens, strawberries, potatoes)-- I'll fill a pot with water, submerge them in the water, and let them sit for a bit.

I used to let LO eat a couple of strawberries unwashed on the way home from the farmer's market, but after washing them and seeing how much dirt comes off in the bowl I've stopped. Plus my husband works in a hospital and tells me terrible stories about kids getting sick from unwashed raspberries.

She says it rids the fruit of dirties and etc. I wash fruit for my LO the same way.
