Just Say No to Plastic!
Really, it's not necessary. I belong to a CSA and each week receive tons of fresh vegetables. Lettuce can easily be stored in a bowl with a damp towel over the top. I've kept lettuce fresh this way for as much as 2 weeks. If it starts to look a little less than full peak I run a little cold water over it, let it drain a bit and then back in the bowl it goes!.
Fresh herbs store just fine in a glass of water without the plastic bag - just rinse the herbs (gently) under cold water if they seem a little under the weather.
I've found that hardier veggies can live just fine without bags of any kind. Actually, it can be very important to keep them dry to avoid rot. Do not wash these until you intend to use them. On Umbra on storing produce posted 1 year, 4 months ago 15 Responses
