- Wrap it around green onions to keep them crispy. Store in a baggy or the produce bag from the store.
- Top salad mix containers or bags with the paper towel to keep lettuce from getting brown or wilting

Quick tip: how to keep greens fresh
May 17, 2011
As I've said before, we fly through produce. Since we buy so much, I have quickly learned how to save everything so it stays fresh and tasty as long as possible. My one tip for most items: a slightly damp paper towel. I just take a paper towel and flick it with some water from the faucet. You don't want it soaked, just enough to make it damp. This little item will save your greens so much!

Great tip - I've never heard of doing this, so I will definitely give it a shot!
I learned about it a year or so ago and we have had so much less waste! It's crazy how something so simple works so well!
