  3. Shopping List

1. In the box (in order of what to eat first):

Lettuce - Keep damp in an airtight container in the fridge. Keeps for one week.

Spinach - Store loose in an open container in the crisper, cool as soon as possible. Spinach loves to stay cold.

Dill - Wrap in a dry paper towel and store in a plastic bag. Keeps well in your fridge up to 10 days. 

Red Kale and Mustard - Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collard greens, and chard do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge. Do not wash until ready to use.

Beets - Cut the tops off to keep beets firm (be sure to keep the greens!) Leaving any top on the root vegetables draws moisture from the root, making the lose flavor and firmness. Beets should be washed and kept in an open contained with a wet towel on top. 

Cabbage - Left out on a cool counter is fine up to a week, in the crisper otherwise. Peel off outer leaves before cooking.

Cauliflower or Broccoli - Cauliflower will last a while in a closed container in the fridge but some say cauliflower has the best flavor the day it's brought home. Broccoli - Place in an open container in the fridge or wrap in a damp towel before placing in the fridge. Lasts 1-2 weeks. 

Tokyo Turnips - Remove the greens (store separately) same as radishes and beets, store them in an open container with a moist cloth. Lasts up to a week.

Onions - Store in a cool dry place out of the light.

Lemons and Mandarins (Twin Girls) - These lemons and mandarins may have a sticker on them as they are sold in markets and stores in the area. Sometimes our order is placed after they're individually labeled. They're organically grown in Fresno, CA by Twin Girls Farm.  Leave at room temperature until you're ready to eat them.

Pomelo - Leave out on the counter until ripe. Then enjoy!
