Keep Collard Greens Fresh for Days—Here’s What Works

Skip washing your collard greens before storing. Moisture is the enemy if you want them to last more than a couple days. Pop them straight into a big, air-tight plastic bag. Squeeze out as much air as you can, then seal it up. If you’re out of bags, wrap the greens in a damp paper towel and stick them in an unsealed bag instead. Toss the bag in your fridge’s crisper drawer. They’ll stay crisp for about 5 to 7 days. Check daily—if they start to wilt or get slimy, it’s time to toss them. Only wash the greens right before you cook them. They can be gritty, so soak and rinse well. This method keeps collard greens tasting just-picked all week! #CollardGreens #KitchenTips #FreshProduce #Food #Cooking
