How to preserve and store your hearty greens
CHILLING RAW GREENS If you plan to enjoy your greens soon, you can store them in the refrigerator, but, for best results, don’t just toss them into the crisper. Prep them first: Discard any rubber bands or wire fasteners holding your greens together, strip the greens from the stems and tear large leaves into bite-size pieces. Add the greens to a large bowl of cold water and swish them vigorously to loosen any dirt.

Transfer your clean, dry greens to a large resealable bag lined with a dish towel or two paper towels, and gently press the bag to remove excess air. Refrigerate for up to 10 days.
