摘要：

A method for cleansing vegetable foodstuffs comprises the following steps: placing the vegetable foodstuffs in a fluid, in particular water; and agitating the fluid such that it is permeated by oscillations which act on the outer surfaces of the vegetable foodstuffs, wherein the fluid is agitated by means of a device having the form of a fluid-tight housing (8) which is completely immersed in the fluid together with the vegetable foodstuffs and made to vibrate by means of a drive mechanism (12, 24, 26) arranged inside the housing. The vibrations are also capable of gently but thoroughly removing impurities lodged in wrinkles, grooves or pores. The cleaning process may be aided by a suitable surfactant in particular when residues of plant protection spray are to be removed.
