Then put the bundles in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. No need to fill it to the top – the greens should be located freely. Pour cold water into the container so that it completely covers the vegetation. Close the container with a lid, put it in the refrigerator and leave it there for 8-10 hours, and preferably for a day. During this time, the greens will have time to absorb moisture.
Then take out the container, drain all the water and shake off the bunches. Put the sprigs back into a damp container (there should be no liquid at the bottom), cover with a lid and send to be stored in the refrigerator. Periodically drain the collected condensate so that the greens do not rot.
