GREENS
Greens come in an amazing range of flavors:
Great for adding to a salad with mild to sweet flavors: baby bok choy, totsoi, hon tsai tai, vitamin greens, tokyo bukana
To add spice to your salad: mizuna, arugula, mustards
Great for adding to smoothies: vitamin greens, totsoi
Great sauteed: totsoi, mizuna,baby bok choy, hon tsai tai
They substitute well for other greens. Try using tot soi in recipes instead of spinach.
How to store your greens:
Make sure to keep the greens in a plastic bag that is closed. The reason leafy greens (and other vegetables) wilt is because they loose moisture. Your refrigerator acts as a dehydrator, pulling moisture from it's contents. If you keep the greens closed inside a plastic bag, it will keep the moisture in. If you prefer cloth bags, make sure to keep the bags moist at all times.
