Any tips for spring mix and spinach that are pre rinsed in the plastic containers?

[@ThatSaladLady]

Hi there and great question! You'll basically treat these greens as you would treat chopped lettuce. Simply remove them from their containers and store them in air-tight containers using the dampened paper towel method I highlighted here. Hope this helps 🙂

Can’t wait for this one

Awesomeness 🤩

Wonderful tips/lesson!! I tend to store my (romaine) lettuce in a glass mason jar. It lasts 2 to 3 weeks, if I have to keep it that long. Please advise on that.

Thank you @@turksangel906 and many thanks for watching the segment. Storing lettuce in a mason jar can indeed extend its freshness! The lifespan can vary depending on the type of lettuce and the conditions of your refrigerator. From my experience, chopped lettuce typically keeps for 1-2 weeks while whole lettuce leaves stored in a larger jar may keep a bit longer. With the mason jar method, I suggest placing a paper towel at the top of the jar before sealing it to help absorb excess moisture 😊
