Mike, I can't say this with absolute certainty, but it makes sense to me to start over, because you've already leached two days worth of minerals and other nutrients out of the bones, so I'm not sure there'd be much left to leach. And the whole point is to extract the nutrients from the bones, of course. > >Does anybody have any tricks for keeping lettuce crisp? I'd like to find >something natrual that I could soak it in. There are crisper cloth bags that you can probably buy at a natural foods store that are supposed to be made for this purpose. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 1.!Start over with new bones, give the old sturdy bones to your dog. 2. I use these green bags I get from the health food store and a ozone refridgerator unit to keep my lettus and vegatables in. When I was my lettus for salads I add apple cider vinegar to the soak water and it really perks up the limp leaves. It also adds a little zing!

Use Evert-fresh bags http://www.evert-fresh.com/. They are excellent! I can't wait to pick up more when I come back to the US.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I think somebody asked about this recently. I find that the green vegetable bags by Evert Fresh (Google: Evert Fresh) are EXCELLENT for keeping all types of vegetables crisp and for reducing vitamin loss. Unless someone has heard something to the contrary, they are supposed to be natural and safe. Ciao, Dawn > > > Does anybody have any tricks for keeping lettuce > > crisp?

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I suppose a salad spinner isn't natural as it's plastic, but i can keep salad fresh for ages in it. I tear it up, wash it and spin it, then store it in the basket so it gets some air in there. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
