Simple Ways to Save Money, Reduce Waste, and Go Green
For Your Leafy Greens, Use a Tea Towel
It is common knowledge that leafy greens spoil quickly. It’s challenging to purchase a bag of basil at the market without throwing some of it away. However, you’re already setting yourself up for failure if all you do is bring your vegetables home and leave them in the fridge or out in the open. Leafy greens and herbs will last almost twice as long in the refrigerator if you wrap them in a damp tea towel first.This method works with a variety of greens, including kale and basil. Additionally, it functions for a variety of herbs, including dill, parsley, and thyme.
