How To Keep Your Microgreens Fresh
Do you have a problem with keeping plants alive? Or feel that you don't quite have a green thumb? That is not a problem, let me help you keep your microgreens fresh for up to 14 days. Be sure to wash your micros with water before you serve them. I like to use a salad spinner to dry them or you can also dry with paper towels. Allow the micros to dry fully and then store the remaining microgreens in a glass container or airtight plastic bag. Regardless of which container you choose, you will want to line the container with a paper towel to absorb any condensation. Be sure to store in your refrigerator as soon as possible. If you leave the micros on your kitchen counter, exposure to light and air especially a fan or air conditioning will cause them to wilt.
