The leaves will separate beautifuly. For Bibb and other full-headed greens, place them on a towel, cover with a plain towel, and chill for an hour or two. If you need greens right away and they're wet, throw them in a pillow-case and spin them dry on the spin cycle of your washing machine for a minute or two. Shake the excess liquid from them, and chill in the refridgerator for 1 hour. Please take a moment to review our Privacy Statement.
