Step-by-Step Guide to Keeping Greens Fresh
1. Wash and Dry Thoroughly
Even if your greens are labeled “pre-washed,” rinse them under cold water to remove dirt and bacteria. Then, dry them completely—this is crucial.
Use a salad spinner for best results.
No spinner? Lay greens on a clean towel or pat dry with paper towels.
2. Line a Container with Paper Towels
Choose an airtight container large enough to hold greens without crushing them.
Place a dry paper towel at the bottom to absorb excess moisture.
Add greens in a loose layer (do not pack them down).
Top with another paper towel to trap extra humidity.
3. Seal and Store Properly
Close the container tightly to lock in freshness.
Store in the crisper drawer for optimal humidity control.
Check paper towels every few days and replace them if damp.
Why This Method Works
Absorbs moisture: Prevents sliminess.
Maintains airflow: Keeps greens crisp.
Protects from bruising: Extends freshness.
