    Thanks SO MUCH. Man, you have to realize, I was not eating vegetables the way I need to because I was just so sick of throwing it out after it spoiled quickly. Now my produce lasts LITERALLY 2 weeks or more! You are a lifesaver!!!

    It works! I was doing the lettuce already but cucumbers were not lasting for a week’s meals until I did this plus I moved them to the top shelf instead of the veg drawers at bottom of fridge where is coldest. Thank you! You saved me a lot of money on wasting cucumbers!

    😃 " WOW!.... I like Your tip. I had stopped buying ' Fresh Produce ' from the supermarkets. because It too often went bad if not used the same or next day. What I also like about your quick and easy tip is how well It applies to a variety of Vegetables. I needed some effective storage advice and will, definitely, try this method. Thank You! "

    I stumbled upon your channel and so very glad I did. I never knew this so Thank You for sharing. In all honesty I have thrown out so much produce it embarrassing..... so much so I stopped buying it unless I knew I would use it within a day or two. I LOVE fresh produce and I am excited to put your tip to use. Thanks again, much appreciated 😊

    For years I've done something similar with lettuce, it'll last a couple of weeks.
    I feel off the outer leaves, wash the
    Whole head, wrap completely with paper towels then put on a produce bag from the grocery, and twist tie.
    But I've never done the cucumber trick, will have to use that, thank you.

    If you line a storage container with a paper towel and store your berries and other cut produce, it works the same way. I will cut strawberries and this has saved us sooo much because they always go bad within a few days but this way they last at least a week.

    Great tip, thanks! I was also using paper towels (inside a plastic bag) but dry ones, now I'll try wetting them like you do and hope the results will turn out far better. The freshness of the lettuce you showed was quite impressive to see. :)

    • @heartmomma6460

    Question... I watched another video where salad was put in a bowl and dry paper towels were put on bottom in between and on top. That was done to keep the moisture out. Do you suggest that wetting the paper towels is a better idea? I really would like my produce to last me longer. Thanks!

      That's what I was thinking. Moisture over long periods creates microorganisms. Maybe invisible but id say they are still there. I think that the best method is to eat what you pick. When its harvest time then its also time to can or start baking up a storm. Now I want zucchini bread. 🤣

      I was wondering that too because he didn't mention it. A lot of videos I watched suggested removing air either with a straw or sucking it out and then you can use DRY paper towel. This is the first video that I have seen that mentioned WET paper towel. I guess I will try this method out and see how it goes.

    • @patriciamcdonald6149
      @patriciamcdonald6149 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great idea 'How To with Doc', it really works. I've used plastic containers and (even better) glass jars to store veg this way for years, the good thing is that you can use the containers 1000's of times. As he mentions it leaves more oxygen if the plastic container is too big. Just put it in a smaller container. Try to keep the containers about the same size as the veg.

    • @bethclemensen2102
      @bethclemensen2102 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you're after saving plastic bags, bags used for veggies can be washed and reused. If you use a bag with MEAT it's recommended you then discard the bag.

  • @indigowolf556
    @indigowolf556 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I found your channel by accident on purpose. If that makes sense. I can't cucumbers and they always get rubbery and I get so mad. And I buy lettuce shreds and lettuce in a bag but after a couple of days it's gross and nasty and I have to throw it away and it's expensive. I've tried putting it in a bag and sealing it and making sure nothing gets in it but I guess the piece of the post was the wet paper towel so I'm going to try that. Because lettuce shreds are like $3 and no one wants to eat a taco with limpy Guppies lettuce shreds. So who would have thought it put it in a ziplock bag with a wet paper towel close the ziplock bag and there you go
