    I use waffle weave dish cloths that I insert into the plastic bags to absorb moisture. It works even better than the paper towels.

    @ipashaka 4 ปีที่แล้ว +60

    Only thing is Kim, after washing veggies I would not store them back in the same bags they come in. Reason is, any bacteria that was on the veggies before washing them is likely in the bag. Therefore, you are recontaminating them.

    If you want less waste, so avoiding excess paper towel use, I recommend flour sack towels. I am part of a CSA and pick up my veggies every 2 weeks. I use a bunch of flour sack towels to wrap up the items needed. Like greens. It works just as well and you just toss in the wash when done.

      It’s amazing how they keep growing. I was blown away when I learned that. However, just a little fyi I discovered, they lose much of the flavor after the first cutting or 2. Basically, because they’re living in just water, no nutrients from the soil, it’s more like lettuce after awhile. 😂

Now with the virus my store is bagging them in 10lbs, instead of individual picking out. It is the two of us now.

    With the lettuce you can also put it in a air tight container with a paper towel if you don't want to waste a plastic bag. Last a while if you change the paper towel out every 2-3 days to make sure it aborbs any leftover water
