Here is a helpful hint for making containers of spinach, greens or veggies last longer.
I get the large tubs of greens, but they spoil quickly because they get wet on the inside of the container. When I bring the greens home from the grocery, I gently slip in three towels (along the bottom, middle and the top). It keeps the lettuces dryer longer, and smelling fresh. It saves you money to buy bigger containers of greens, and with this process, it allows them to stay fresh longer.
I love seasonal vegetables and have enjoyed the local farmers markets here where I live. Tomato's are at their flavor peak right now. I love to try new varieties like heirloom and anything else available.
Enjoy all that you can of the summer harvest before it's not available, fresh, anymore.
