Is there any way to keep greens from wilting in the fridge? Figment eats so little of them that I worry about them losing nutritional value over the course of the week.

I got a Rubbermaid produce saver, and it definitely helps keep them longer.

Thanks - just ordered one for us!
I typically dont have trouble keeping greens for a week. Usually 2 weeks just in the crisper of the fridge. If you prewash them they wont last as long. So I only wash them as I use them.
They stay in the thin plastic bags that you pack them in at the produce section.

Google: keeping greens from wilting :wink:
I've had best results doing this:
I rinse and then cut the stems when I get home from the store.
Dry the leaves and put them in a ziploc with a folded piece of paper towel.
Draw the air out of the ziploc, seal it, and put it in the crisper in the fridge.
I've been able to keep most greens fresh for several weeks this way. Collards hold up particularly well.

Well, that explains why I keep finding ziplocs full of salad fixins in the fridge with paper towel stuffed in the bag. :laughing6:CooperDragon":acwbszva said:
