I Vote "NO" for bagged lettuce!

I have purchased my share of bagged lettuce, in the past.  Won't be doing that in the future.  I just read an article, yes another one, titled "The Truth About Bagged Lettuce".  (Click on the title to read the article.)  There were some new ideas to consider; such as the water usage to triple-wash, for one. 

As a Tupperware consultant, with a Tupperized kitchen, I not only know better (cost vs. convenience) but I have the tools to do salad right.  I am making a commitment to use the tools I have & "ditch" the bagged lettuce for good.

The convenience of opening a bag of lettuce is pretty enticing.  But I (you) can duplicate it with just a little effort.

  • Buy whole heads of your favorite greens
  • Wash them yourself
  • Spin them dry
  • Tear into bite-sized pcs., or not
  • Store properly for maximum keeping time & freshness
Tupperware has a couple of tools that can help. 

Our salad spinner is terrific.  It is a large capacity, the bowl comes with a seal so that you can actually clean/serve your salad in the same bowl.  The seal makes the bowl great for potato, pasta and layered salads too.  Normally $49.50, it is on sale on my website for just $27.  I don't know for sure how long the sale will last...

The second very helpful item is the FridgeSmart Containers.  These will keep your produce fresh longer, I promise!  By controlling airflow & moisture, according to the needs of the particular type of produce, you can keep things at least 3 time longer than if store in plastic in your "slime drawers"!  These are also available as a set or individually on my website.
 
I will be using that big container (e.) to store my torn lettuce in the future.  I'll still have the advantage of instant salads, and it'll stay fresh longer!
