I have to admit that I hadn't gotten into my aluminum lettuce bowl for several days. I put a few leaves on a sandwich last week a couple of times but I haven't actually used lots of it for a salad or anything for at least a week or so. I know what you're thinking... SHAME ON ME FOR NOT EATING SALAD! OK, it's not that I don't enjoy a good salad....I LOVE SALAD... REALLY! I'm conducting an experiment, remember?
Soooo...today, is September 7 and it has been 26 days...count 'em 26...and the lettuce I put on my sandwich today from the same batch of lettuce is still fresh and crisp...just look at it!
There was only minor browning on the edges of the ribs.
This is the first time I have actually counted the days!
I am so amazed by this!
It makes we wonder how much lettuce I have had to throw out in my lifetime...
...and the money that went out with it!
Just want to keep my peeps informed!

You're a genius!!! Can't wait to try this!! By the way...I love your fall header.............it's cozy and yummy and pretty all wrapped up together...:) Have a great Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteGenius? Hardly...thank the good folks a Pampered Chef for that lettuce tip! Thank you though. You really should try it. There were so many fall pics to choose from...I had a hard time trying to decide which ones..thanks for the compliment :)
DeleteHi Debby! Thank you for this. I don't know how many bunches of lettuce I have thrown out too...especially the Spring Mix. That seems to 'go bad' so fast!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!

Ceil...I just threw the last couple of leaves out yesterday! This was of course from romaine heads. I don't know how it works with bagged mixed greens that are already cut if that is what you mean. Unfortunately, the bagged lettuce sometimes has chemical "preservatives" in it so this may not work as well. I think the key is the paper towels for absorbing the water and the aluminum bowl that keeps it so cold. I will be interested in knowing how this works for your greens...let me know!
DeleteHello Debby, Okay if this really works my chickens will be so mad at you :) I appreciate this post and I think it may go viral... Hope your having a great week and don't forget to eat your greens.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Roxy
