I agree
1000%. Am pick, followed by wash and cool down makes for a way better product.
The wash
and cool down goes for almost anything that is going to get thrown in the
cooler/walkin/fridge.
The
faster you remove field heat the better things hold up and in the Summer
things are still warm in the am, just less so. Some even start the process in
the field, because it's so important. Getting things spun dry is also way
important, but remember, the refridge is also a drying
environment.

I wash all my greens and it does make a big difference.

greens they will store in the fridge for 4 weeks before they start to rot. If I
do not wash the greens they will store about 10 days before they start to rot.
All greens are refrigerated, bagged and picked early
morning.
