keeping salad fresh

[kate robinson]

I pick my leaves first thing in the morning when they are full of night moisture and before the sun (!) has been on them. I wash and mix the leaves in large bins and then spin/twirl the crates to remove most of the water. I seal the bags with bag neck tape from a dispenser thing. I then either deliver straight away or put straight in the fridge to deliver next morning. My customers say the salad last for a week. Condensation does form on bags which doesn’t look so good on market stalls but people don’t seem to mind that. K
