Hello,

I've been trolling this forum in the background for a few weeks, and I've learned a ton (so, thanks to all). One of the more valuable things I've learned is in regards to the best greens to feed. Instead of using pre-packaged spring mix, I've decided to make my own mix using endive, escarole, collards, and bok choy. When buying these greens separately, and then mixing them together, one ends up with a huge amount of the stuff, plus it's a bit expensive. So, what's the best way to keep the mix fresh for as long as possible? I'm buying the minimum amount I can at my local supermarket, but even so, with a little baby Uro, this one mix could literally last for a year. Keeping it in a tupperware in the refrigerator will turn it to mush inside of about two weeks. So, is it okay to freeze it? Will it lose nutrients over time?
