We put a lot of time into our gardens. so when it comes time to harvest and store our produce, let's make sure we do it right! Here's my method for harvesting and storing leafy greens to get their shelf life to a week or longer. There are three steps: 1. Harvest the full root ball if possible and wash off the dirt 2. Do NOT wash the leaves, but do trim any dead or damaged ones 3. Store in breathable produce bags with a wet paper towel wrapped around the roots. These three steps are what I used when growing and selling microgreens to high-end restaurants to extend shelf life. Hopefully they're helpful for you too! Let me know if you have a pro tip in the comments below

I'm surprised to find that my leaf lettuce and mixed greens are staying fresh for well over 30 days, up to 45 days in the fridge with no signs of discoloration or slime. I actually find gently rinsing my greens before storing works better for me than not rinsing. However, I also use a particular fresh keeper container and I layer some greens with a few paper towels and occasionally replace a paper towel once it gets too wet and fluff up or toss the greens around as well.

Great video. I have never been satisfied with the quality of my greens after I pick them and now I know that it is most likely because I wash them and do not use the right bags for storage! Just wondering if you have any similar tips for 'cut and come again'. I thought that I had seen a previous video on this from you but now I can't seem to find it!

Once you are ready to eat and you've cut it from the root ball put it in a container with some ice cubes at the bottom to crispen the greens up before serving

my crisper does not have a vegetable setting. It has less moist and more moist. Can I presume it is more moist? Thanks for the advice

WHERE did you get that culantro? I am in the SF Bay Area. I can't find any local source. The online seeds sources seem questionable.

I thought you were mispronouncing cilantro! never heard of that. I need to learn more about greens.
