Due to covid-19 I bought a little more greens than usual. Just curious if y’all have any tips to keep greens fresher for longer? Right now I’m doing the layer paper towels and greens in a Tupperware method.

Yep, take them out of the fridge, put in water, and cover with a plastic bag, if you got the cut greens and not ones with the root end trim a little off the stem, and put in water and cover, change water every two today's, they should keep for a week or two, maybe longer,Due to covid-19 I bought a little more greens than usual.

Most greens freeze well. You can blend (in a blender or food processor) with fruit or a prepared diet. My Red Foots can sometimes be picky about certain types of greens. If I blend the greens with some thing else, they have no problem.
I do it all the time, have to change the water, every other day, though, or they will get slimy,I’m guessing it kind of depends what kind of “greens” one is trying to keep fresh. Loose leaf greens, and greens w/o true stems won’t do well standing in water. So, a lot does depend on the type we are trying to keep fresh.
