### 🕒 How Long Will Greens Last?

With this method, most salad greens can last **7–10 days** or more—far longer than their usual 2–4 day shelf life. Sturdier greens like kale, romaine, or spinach tend to hold up best.

### 💡 Extra Tips:

* Don’t store greens near fruits like apples or bananas—they release ethylene gas, which speeds up wilting.
* Avoid overpacking the container—air circulation is key.
* Add a dry paper towel *every time* you open and reseal the container if you see moisture building.

### 🌱 Final Thought:

Fresh salad greens don’t have to be a race against the clock. By storing them properly, you can enjoy crisp, vibrant greens whenever you like—without the waste or the guilt. A little prep goes a long way toward saving money and reducing food waste.

Try this method once, and you’ll never go back!
