Suggestions for Storing Spinach Needed!

[Amzipp]

I have a customer who would like something that she can store her spinach in. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't buy spinach

The only think we really have is the herb keeper. I don't know what quantities she buys though.

what about the berry spinner?

I buy fresh spinach and place it in a produce bag. Then I place that bag into another produce bag. I wash it and spin it, throw the inner bag away and put the clean spinach inside the clean bag. Then I store it in the vegetable drawer. It lasts longer than my lettuce ever lasts.

I thought that the salad spinner would probably help. I know it makes my lettuce last about twice as long as it did without spinning. Thanks for your suggestions!!!

I have a friend that keeps her lettuce fresh for 2 weeks in her large Chillzane Bowl. She says it works like a charm. Haven't tried it, but I wonder if is would also work for spinach.

One tip I've heard for lettuce (sorry, don't know much about spinach) is that when you store it in a bowl, put a saucer or small plate upside down in the bottom of the bowl. It greats an area for any condensation to "pool" in rather than your lettuce sitting in it.

I had a customer recently tell me that they keep spinach in one of the stainless steel bowls and it lasts long enough for just her and her husband to eat it all without having to throw it away first.

I have also heard that the stainless bowls keep fruit salad fresh for about a week - I haven't tried it out for myself yet though...
