MY LEAFY GREENS HAVE GONE WILTY, WHAT CAN I DO...?
Because we do not treat our produce with a chemical preservative, this will naturally happen. The process is called transpiration, which is kind of like sweating.
Plants draw moisture through their stems by means of cellular constriction (like a snake digesting an animal). The excess water then evaporates out the tops of their leaves.
Treat your fresh-cut leaf vegetables like cut flowers. Give the stems a fresh cut (at an angle) and place them in a glass or vase of water. They will perk right back up and look wonderful again, lasting for days.
And of course, refridgeration always helps - but only after they've revived.
