    Notes

    Using 2 paper towels in your 'mixed greens' container ( a few greens, a paper towel, a few greens a paper towel) it will extend the life of your greens.

    Using a small section of a paper towel, in your berry containers, will extend the life of your berries too.

    Also, by turning your container over in a new position each time you get them out of the fridge will prolong the life of your fruit and greens.

    For instance, when you get your berries or greens from the store, place them in the fridge right down. When you take them out to use, replace them, back into your fridge, right side up.
