\"Sac01_blog\"<\/a>Sadly I usually end up throwing out half the lettuce I buy because I don’t get around to using it before it wilts… well, now I can add a few days onto my lettuce’s life with this handy dandy salad sac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This short video shows how easy it is to use and will change the way you store your veggies from now on.<\/p>\n

Other helpful hints include:<\/p>\n

-Just wash and trim your veggies and whole lettuce, store them altogether in your damp Salad Sac. Whole vegetables and whole lettuce of any kind including Romaine<\/strong>, Bibb<\/strong>, Leaf<\/strong>, Spinach<\/strong>, Kale <\/strong>etc. will stay fresh and crisp in the fridge longer.<\/p>\n

-Try all your veggies including: broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, asparagus, beans, snow peas, zucchini, whole green onions.  You can store them all together – the flavors will not transfer.<\/p>\n

\n
-Keep one Salad Sac for mushrooms, store them in your Salad Sac, (dirt & all) in the fridge and wash them as you need them. You will find that mushrooms will keep for over a week. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-Buy your tomatoes at various stages of ripeness and store in the Salad Sac in a cool dark kitchen cupboard (not the fridge). You will be amazed at how long they will keep and yet ripen naturally. <\/div>\n
\n

-Make extra salad ahead of time using the Salad Sac so the salad is ready to eat when you are hungry.<\/p>\n

-Store parsley, dill, rosemary, mint, chives etc. with your vegetables \u2013 flavors will not transfer. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-Salad sac is made from a special grade of super absorbent untreated cotton "especially for food"<\/div>\n

-FOR MAXIMUM FRESHNESS KEEP SALAD SAC DAMP AND STORE IN FRIDGE.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n
