STORAGE TIPS
Take 10 minutes the day you come house together with your veggies to clean every little thing earlier than placing it away. It should make your life SO MUCH EASIER all through the week as you get pleasure from your share.
GET TO KNOW (AND LOVE) YOUR SALAD SPINNER
I actually do not understand how anybody can survive with out this important kitchen software. You’ll be utilizing it on a regular basis! This one’s my favourite, however there are many choices. (1) Fill it up with cool faucet water and dunk and agitate all your greens individually (arugula, kales, turnip tops). Change the water when it turns into cloudy. (2) I often do 1-2 rinses, then spin the greens dry and retailer in an hermetic bag within the fridge. Plastic luggage work, however I additionally love cotton Vejibags. The purpose is to seal within the moisture. When greens dehydrate they give the impression of being floppy and unhappy. Often dunking them in recent cool water can revive them!
Take away the radish and turnip roots from the greens. You’ll be able to simply chop them off about 1/2 inch up the stem. I sometimes compost the radish tops (not my favourite) and save the turnip tops (undoubtedly my favourite!). Inexperienced tops must be washed and saved (as described above). The roots must be saved in an hermetic container individually.
The cilantro could be very tender, so I do not advocate washing it till you are able to eat or prepare dinner with it. A good way to retailer it’s “bouquet-style” in a glass of recent water on the counter or within the fridge. Change the water day by day.
