Usually with cabbage, iceberg, romaine, you just need to peel off the outer leaf, and the rest will be pretty clean.
But for the veggies that sprout individual stocks/leaves/etc like spinach, kale, and collards, cleaning it isn't as easy as dunking 'em in water...
I blend kale and collard greens for my green smoothies, so I have to shop for them every couple days, and it's not easy.
They're very dirty. On rare occasions, I'll actually find pretty clean kale/collards, and I'll stock up with everything they have, but for the most part, there's a lot of grime, residue, slime, and sometimes even bird feces.
Also, the collard greens often have yellow grime that is literally embedded onto the leaves. The only way to get 'em off is to manually stretch 'em off with your nails. But they're everywhere...
Does anybody deal with these greens?
