I put heads of cabbage in my fridge in "Greenbags" on Thanksgiving weekend.

They're still perfect, although one or two are actually trying to grow and pushing up a bud through the "crown" of the head.

Which tells me two things that I already knew. Cabbage stores very well, especially if it is a winter storage variety as most of these were, and Greenbags work great.

Just need to thaw out the corned beef that's still in the freezer from LAST year. I think it will still be ok, it was vacuum packed. If not, I'll just get a new one.

1. Are Greenbags the ones with silver in the plastic to prevent food going bad? That's a long time!

I might have to give those a try if that's what you're talking about here.

3. Thanks, as a single it's a battle to juice fast enough to use my fresh greens, etc.

I like to go to COSTCO for the big bags of fresh spinach, parsley, cilantro and ginger root and some times I can't get to them fast enough..YIKES!

At least I have a friend who composts my very costly nistakes.

I think Amazon carries these bags, so I'll check it out there.

You get 6 to 10 for $1. Check out Dollar Tree stores in your region, they carry them.

6. Mine too. I've found the Dollar Tree ones work just as well as the $9 Debbie Whatshername ones.

The color seems to change periodically from green to blue to yellow, but they all work the same.
