To make the most of your CSA produce, following these simple guidelines:
- Never store produce directly in the refrigerator. Keep items loosely wrapped and dry in a plastic bag, with a paper towel to wick away excess moisture.
- Remove all rubber bands and other fasteners from the vegetables to promote better circulation.
- Before storing root veggies, cut off the edible greens and store separately to preserve moisture.
- Wash and spin dry the lettuce leaves and greens as soon as you can. It will make for easy and quick use later. Keep them dry during storage.
- If your greens or other items had a rough ride home or have wilted in the fridge, soak them in a bowl of cold water before drying them. An hour or two will crisp them right up!
