Since I have been juicing I have noticed it takes up a lot of space and have come up with a system that seems to work pretty well.
This morning again I was at the store to get Kale and Cukes. Depending in the selection I will buy enough for one or two days worth of juicing and eating. Any more than a couple of days worth and you run the risk of not getting it used up before it starts to go soft.
I have re-arranged my kitchen so I have a little assembly line going and it works out great.
First off I like to wash/scrub the veggies in the sink, then they go to the strainer to drip dry, and from there on to the kitchen towel to air dry.
I use a big bowl for the parsley and kale, and let them each soak in the water for awhile. You will be amazed at the dirt that is in the bottom of the bowl!
Once the Parsley and Kale are dried, I wrap them in paper towels and then put them into a large zipper bag and put them in the fridge. The Kale doesn't fit entirely in the bag, but that is okay, it still seems to remain crisp. If I have lots of Kale, then after washing and drying it, I just roll it up in a clean kitchen towel and put it in the bottom drawer of the fridge, and it will stay crisp for several days.
The Cukes just go in the drawer in the fridge, along with the green apples, celery and lemons.
Here is to your Health. Stay Organized, Stay Clean, and Stay Green!
