  4. As you can see from the picture, I am a guinea pig. My owner is unexpectedly without a car and it may take a while to get another one. Frequent trips to the grocer for my yummy vegetables have become much more difficult. I need greens to keep my little body healthy and strong. You have made my life much better and my owner's life much easier. Many thanks, my new human friend.

  8. THIS IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!!!! Leafy greens are supposed to last for months if you are trying to get people to believe that their lettuce "normally" lasts for under three weeks you aren't selling "FRESH" produce. Dan you may be the "produce man," but I'm a "farmer man" and you are doing it wrong. The moisture on the leaves is what causes the decomposition. I literally harvest, wash, and dry all of my greens that I sell and they last for four weeks or more without any of your nonsense waste of plastic and trash.

  9. i just take the head of lettuce and put into bowl with water. like you would a christmas tree or flowers, put the plastic back on top. then peel as many leaves you want then put back. after a week i cut the darker end of stem off. still good for another week. no excess plastic waste for oceans.

  12. Does this work for pre-washed salad? It goes super fast. I put mine in a plastic box specifically made for keeping a head of lettuce fresh but it didn’t seem to work for prepackaged salad. It was mushy in a day or two. I’m single so I buy two small bags but I can’t finish it quickly enough. Thanks.

  13. I do this, but also let the lettuce air dry and dehydrate a bit. Looks a little wilted but comes to life quickly when in a moist salad..seems to help.

  16. In an effort to eliminate as much plastic from my home and from the landfills/ocean, I decided to use glass containers to store my veggies, including lettuce. I just started, so don't know how long they will last, and actually, we'll use it within a week, so I may never know about lettuce, but I don't always use the kale, spinach, cucumbers, or tomatoes within a week. Do you, Dan, or anyone else, have thoughts on using glass containers with "airtight" lids for storing these veggies, and/or fruits?

  20. Nice. Maybe you can tell me how to keep lettuce freshly picked fresh .I know the farms spray something on them . by the next day at market I just want to trash my lettuce. Thanks Angie with Mauki Sun Farm STL

  24. This works for heartier lettuce, but iceberg is different. I prep my lettuce, but also add and change out plain white paper towels to absorb any excess moisture, and poke air holes in the bags

  26. Doesn't the lettuce need to be COMPLETELY DRIED BEFORE sealing the bag in order for it to remain fresh?? Should use a spinner to dry it ….
