Romaine can trap a lot of dirt while it grows. Celery too.
“Romaine can trap a lot of dirt while it grows.”
That was the first reason that came to my mind. That stuff is so tightly wrapped within itself that I wash the crap (no pun intended) out of every single leaf when I prepare it. We don’t eat it much, though.
This recall is weird. Seems like there’s a bigger issue this time.
This is true of course but you know lately Ive been getting the filthiest vegetables Ive ever seen. Its almost like there was some kind of regulation change and nobody is bothering to wash anything. We don’t eat romaine except what we may occasionally grow but the celery has been terrible. I bought some turnip greens and mustard greens that had enough sand to fill a small childs sandbox, there was a bunch of spinach that had big clumps of mud woven up amongst the leaves, a pack of mushrooms that had mushrooms on the top and the rest of the tub was substrate, and the only green onions available recently were half mud clumps from Ohio.
