Why You May Want To Start Storing Your Salad Greens In Aluminum Foil
By C.A. Pinkham
If you're the sort of person who regularly stores salad greens in your fridge for meal prep, you're well aware of how quickly the leaves can go bad.
Simply wrap your salad in tin foil to keep your salad fresh. This hack is also better for the environment than using materials like plastic wrap.
To try this trick, all you need to do is take a large rectangle of aluminum foil, place the salad greens on top of it, and fold the foil over, crimping at the edges.
As long as you make sure to tamp down the foil, it will retain the natural moisture in the greens without allowing too much oxygen in that will spoil them.
Oxygen is the main issue with food spoilage, but salad leaves can sometimes stay good for up to a month with a tight enclosure like a tin foil wrap.
