There’s nothing worse than reaching for a bag of salad greens only to find them wilted or slimy. But with the right storage method, you can keep your greens fresh for up to two weeks or longer—no fancy gadgets required.
This tried-and-true technique has been passed down in my family, and it’s a game-changer for anyone who loves fresh salads but hates food waste. Ready to learn the secret? Let’s get started.
Why Do Salad Greens Spoil So Fast?
Leafy greens are delicate and moisture-rich, making them prone to wilting and bacterial growth. The key to keeping them fresh is controlling moisture and airflow. Too much humidity causes sliminess, while too little air makes them wilt.
The solution? A simple paper towel trick that absorbs excess moisture while maintaining the perfect environment for crisp, long-lasting greens.
