I read an article two or three months ago that made the bold statement: keep leafy vegetables & herbs fresh longer by placing them in slightly damp "dishtowel" bags. I made one a week back for some basil I purchased at the farmer's market. When I used some of it today, the basil was still pretty fresh! So... I made four more today! (The sad part is, these dishtowels have been sitting around for the past month for just this intention and I just never got around to sewing the sides shut!) I kept two and gave two away to family when they stopped by for dinner. I'm hoping my spinach will last longer than two or three days now.
What a great idea. You'll have to tell us if it works!
