Storing leafy greens
Unlike other fresh vegetables and fruits, leafy greens should be rinsed before going in the fridge. Follow these easy steps to store your leafy greens safely and extend their freshness.
1. Rinse under cool running water. Be sure to rinse well between each leafy layer.
2. Pat dry using a clean tea towel.
3. Wrap loosely in another clean tea towel to absorb any additional moisture.
4. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
