Pam,

 

Which greens do you not send through the washing machine and have you ever noticed a change depending on the time of year?

It depends on the tissue quality of the green. Romaine and spinach are pretty dense, so can take the spinning, but something like baby buttercrunch lettuce or baby green oak lettuce gets beat up pretty bad real quick, so don't put it through anymore. What I have also found is that any red lettuce seems to have the ability to withstand the spinning. .
 
Yes, time of the year and age of the greens make a big difference.
 
What is your experience so far?
 
Pam
