Hi Rosie,
My heart goes out to you as I know all to well the labor of love that goes into cleaning “greens”, any and all “greens”., my favorite being turnip greens.
For years upon years I had always heard that putting them into the washing machine is best. I thought this to be a myth or a old wives tale and thought to myself “how dare anyone abuse a green (GASP!)”…..that is, until I saw my Mother-in-law actually doing it.
I am proud to say, I will NEVER hand wash another green as long as I live! They come out so much cleaner and literally grit/dirt free!
Make sure your washing machine is free of dirt, oils and clothes. Simply throw the greens into the tub, set that water temp on COLD, and the cycle on delicate. Turn the machine on and let it do its thing, even through the spin cycle and WAaaaLaaa, nice, clean, fresh greens in a fraction of the time it takes to hand clean. It does NOT hurt your washing machine at all and any and all bugs are usually rinsed away as well although I still keep a eye out for the pesky things. Living in the south, bugs are just a necessary evil.
I only found your blog today as your peach cobbler caught my eye, which I intend to make to take to our cabin in the mountains over the Labor Day weekend. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and talents and best of wishes with your new business venture!
When the greens are washed in the washing machine, are they bruised?
I’m sorry, but I don’t wash greens in a machine. I wash them by hand.
