How do you keep your kale,lettuce etc.. crisp in these? Mine just wilt in them in fridge.

I don't usually keep leafy greens in the mesh bags in the frig....I do keep mushrooms, zucchini in them. I use the mesh bags for trips to the grocery store for any kind of veggie.

I take my produce out if the bags when I get home. Leafs do fine in the crisper unprotected as long as it isn't too cold and the leaves are dry.

I end up transferring all 'wilty' type things into one large plastic container. Yes, it's plastic but they all keep each other company and we eat them pretty quickly. I put a liner or cotton tea towel in the bottom. Apples, potatoes and onions store great in them longer term.

My wife always makes sure the lettuce is paper towel dry before putting into the container. This seems to work really well for her. SOmetimes lettuce from the grocery store is older than we think.

in the refrig. probably several months but you should soak them for 24 hours, blanch them, and eat them. Dehydrate if you have one, they get crunchy

We washed them in cold water with detergent and dried them in the drier with our regular clothing. No problems encountered. We keep our fruits and vegetables in them in the refrig. Worth owningand very pleased with the purchase thru amazon.

I don't store any veggies in them. I usually transfer my leafy greens to reusable containers that I keep in the fridge.

Best to eat them fresh, they tend to not hold up well when refrigerated or frozen. The best way to store long term is to leave them in the ground until ready to cook them.

I tried storing it out in the open, and wrapped in a paper towel inside a ziplock in the fridge. The one in the fridge stays fresher longer, but goes soft very quickly once removed. So I store the smaller pieces in the fridge for later use, and leave the larger pieces in a paper bag or a bowl and use those first.

Yes, you should definitely give them a quick rinse. They'd probably be too salty otherwise. I transferred mine to a air-tight container and keep them in the fridge, but I'm not sure that that's totally necessary.

I first would like to state that Organic Traditions is a reputable company, that being said I usually just use these straight out of the bag, I store mine in the refrigerator to protect the delicate oil in them. I do not was my seeds and I have not sprouted these as of yet.

I leave them in the bag they came in and leave them in the pantry. I use mine pretty quickly so don't have them for long. However, I would imagine since they are dried you can store same way for a longer period.

I don't see why you can't store lettuce in them. I have stored green beans,broccoli and other veggies with no problem. Mostly though to transport vegetables from the store home

I put mine in gallon zip lock freezer bags and press the air out each time I open them. Seems to still be fresh3 months later

You put the apple by it's self in the vegetable crisper bin. I put the opened leafy green bag inside a zip lock freezer bag in the veg. crisper bin with a corner of the freezer bag not zipped. My greens stay crisp like this about 7 days. My mushrooms, open & in their original packaging, lasts 4 days. Hope this helps......

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)

HI I usually plan ahead and make a bunch. Keeping them in ziploc bags. I will leave them overnight and then make another batch in the AM. Usually 12 is enough. I love them and they are a huge hit!! I have thought of trying to rinse and reuse but.....hmmmmm just don't know..lol

I keep them in my refrigerator. I'm not certain what Sprout House recommends though.

I just keep them in a cooler room, I think freezing may make them mushy. Fridge might be alright although I haven't done that. I use it every day in my protein shakes so doesn't sit around a long time..just looked at the pkg. and says to refrigerate, guess I will be keeping it there from now on
