Bagged fresh spinach
 

Throw out your bagged fresh spinach. Said to contain possible E-Coli. Great I am eating this stuff like it is going out of style the last year or so. It is the only veggie I can get my 5 year old to eat. They are saying don't buy it or use it. P.

Go with the Frozen until the scare is over....its not that bad.

tossed it....buy it every week......have to go Popeye style...in the can
aahhhhgagagagaga

After the problem Dole had with bagged salad a while back I don't buy anything bagged. I get everything in the produce section or farmer's market, bag it myself and wash it well before eating it. I thought I had read when the salad problem arose that it was consumable if you washed it first, it was that people were pouring it right out of the bag and eating it.

Correction, to my previous post, I don't want anyone getting sick on my watch. Washing it won't help if the e coli is in the produce as well as on it which is what I read has been reported. Best bet is avoid bagged altogether until they figure out where it's coming from.

Just cook it. Crushed garlic with Olive oil and some salt. High heat to really sear those nasty e.coli. Should be able to get truckloads for free now.

switch greens
 

spinach isnt the only green leafed veggie

theres ruby red and dark green lettuce

kale is an excellent pot herb....tons of vit. A

there's beet greens (leaves)

fresh basil leaves

down south of the border they sometimes use questionable
water and or fertilizer sources to water and or fertilize their crops
....its not like it came off of one worker's hands...
this is a massive contamination so the proceedure that has
caused it .........is on a commercial scale.

new zealand spinach is a great variety to grow in the cold
weather months...paul, you could put a 5 gallon container on you
sun-porch and grow some there with ease. its a vine type
and it can be run up a stick. you pick the bottom leaves
and it keeps growing tops all year until the photo-period goes
too low.... in the dead of winter.between...12/01 ------ 3/30th
unless you add articial light.

Someone told me you ate chit sandwiches with spinach and I , sticking up for you, said No...he does`nt like bread :o
