Guest guest Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 You are right Sharon about those carrots having no taste. I prefer to use all the vegetables you have to prepare yourself. They use that wash on the bagged salads now too. I had tryed it, and when you open the bag, it has a odor. I have just gotten to the point where I do not trust any of these new things they come out with. I buy my fresh Romaine and I use a salad spinner when I wash it. They work great.
