Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Hi, Jamie! Do you have mastercook? Under tools, there's a yield and equivalency table 1 pound of collard green leaves will yield 6 cups. So you'd need about 2 pounds collards; trimmed out to 1 1/2 pounds leaves to get 2 quarts -- that's raw. rough chop usually -- 3/4-to 1 " inch strips then chop those strips. hope that helps pat At 12/19/2001, Jamie Orozco wrote: > Hi all- I'm experimenting with kale and collards this week in an >attempt to eat more leafy greens.. >Do any of you have experience with these? > >I have a great recipe from " Veggie Works " cook book- but it calls for 2 qts >of collards- chopped.. > >how do i know what 2 qrts of collards is?? any suggestions on this? and also >how small to chop and stuff liek that? > >Thanks anyone!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 This is a really elementary question, and I suppose I should know but I really don't. What is the best way to package leafy greens to keep them crisp and fresh in the refrigerator? Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Please note: this is not marketing. I have a whole mess of Tupperware 'cause I used to be a Tupperware Sales person, and they claim that their fridgesmarts products are exceptional. They have a chart you would use to "vent" the bowl according to how much each type of veggie breathes (both open, one open both closed on the vents.) I have had a cucumber last for 3+ weeks in one of those (before my veggie days-- they don't last that long anymore!) I really love these products, and don't know about a cheaper alternative that still works. Be happy to put up that little breathing chart if anyone's interested! -dawn by the way, they suggest that you totally remove your produce drawers because they encourage wilting with their design. -d "Melinda <clicker" <clicker wrote: This is a really elementary question, and I suppose I should know but I really don't.

The best way I found to store was to dry them off really well and just stick them in a sealable (tupperware-like) container with a dampened papertowel. They won't keep forever but at least for a couple of extra days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Thanks, Dementia. Yeah, I know what you mean about feeding your pets better than you eat. Been there!
