Keeping Green Veggies in Frig - evert bags

[Guest guest]

Oh, I forgot to add that the reason the bags work is they absorb the

ethylene gas given off by the food. This gas is what hastens the

ripening/rotting process. I use paper towels if I haven't thoroughly

dried the produce because moisture invites mold, especially in my

climate. I hope I didn't confuse anyone with my comment about using

both the Evert bags and the paper towels.

therefore I have to purchase greens from the store. I want to purchase

enough greens to last for a week b/c the store is not very close to us

and I don't have the resources to go to the store more than once a

week. However, the quality of the greens quickly deteriorates by the

time I'm ready to consume them raw. (I end up cooking the greens so

they aren't totally wasted.)
