Let’s kick off Plastic Free July with my insider tips on how to make your produce stay fresh and crisp forever in your fridge, without plastic!
It’s so jarring when I see produce plastic wrapped in stored on styrofoam trays, or those triple washed greens in stiff clamshell containers.
I get so sad when I see a wilted head of lettuce 🥬 in the fridge that’s lost it’s nutritional value and is basically rotting in a plastic bag.
We all know that the plastic clamshells filled with greens may be convenient (and I get it, it saves time), but they’re not really getting recycled, the greens are way less nutrient dense, and you’re getting exposed to plastic in your food.
No bueno!
Sure, it takes a bit more time to buy whole heads of lettuce or kale because you have to wash them yourself, but your body and the earth will thank you.
The good news?
You can seriously perk up your greens and get more nutrients from what you eat and reduce food waste with these produce-saving, plastic free hacks.
