    Good evening ,
    a quick question out to experienced food shoppers:D.

    lately I've been buying a lot of leaf salad ,prepacked and washed in tesco. Some of it is from isreal and has use by dates on it ,rather than best before.

    Question ,how harmful is green leaf salad if it is eaten after the use by date.

    Thanks.

    Considering that there is almost no nutritional value in those salads because of Modified atmosphere packing, then as long as the stuff is crunchy it should be OK.

    just make sure you wash it first

    You should try growing your own salad leaves - it's really easy and you can even do it in a windowbox. I have a small veggie patch and I grow all the lettuce & radishes for the 6 of us in a 1m square plot. I used to buy the bagged stuff and found either it lasted for weeks or it turned to slime the day after it was opened!
