When I buy a bag of salad greens, I open it right away, and put a rubber band around it to keep it closed, but with it opened up, moisture can escape, which, for me, helps the greens last much longer than they would ordinarily. When they get feeling wilted, wet, and slimy on the edges, it's time to throw them out. I used to be able to find what were called veggie bags in the grocery store. They were a zip lock bag with tiny holes throughout. Vegetables kept for a long time in them. But I haven't seen them in the stores for a long time. Maybe food was lasting too long in them, so they took them off the shelves so people would have to buy fresh produce more often!

Just by feeling of the leaves, how are they supposed to feel when they're too old to eat? Need some tips on this since neither my husband nor I can see them.
