I just don’t get it. I must be missing something. I was born in 1968 and for most of my life veggies were sold dry in the market. Now, some supermarkets spray veggies on and off all day long with water, and if you buy prepacked lettuce like a spring mix, it’s full of moisture. It causes the veggies to get mushy and rot.

Why does anyone in the biz think it’s a good idea? Does it actually keep the vegetables more preserved initially and then turn a corner? What’s the real deal?

I’m sick of veg going bad or having to do extra work to keep it good in my fridge. Isn’t it enough that I have to unpack and put away the groceries? Now, in the last 15 years or so, I have to dry everything off before storing it.
