Here is my list of Must Haves in the kitchen for to get the best out of your veggies:
Cutting Board, vegetable peeler, knife, brush for scrubbing veggies and juicer
Salad Spinner
Steamer
Juicer
Canning Jars with lids
The salad spinner is one of my favorites kitchen essentials...You can was all sorts of greens in it and then also use it to store them. They will easily stay crisp and yummy for a week in the fridge.
If you make extra green juice you will want to make sure you save it in a canning jar with a tight fitting lid on it. Also fill the jar up to the top with juice so there is no room for air. And drink it the same day if possible.
When you need a break from all of the raw veggies and to mix it up a bit, try steaming them. It is best to just lightly steam them, try for maybe 5 or 10 minutes depending on the vegetable. You don't want to cook them to death.
And remember if the produce is not organic, then peel it so you are not ingesting the pesticides.
Enjoy your Greens, and Purples, and Oranges, and anything brightly colored!
