Believe it or not, sometimes buying wilted greens is OK.

Now that you know how to avoid decaying produce, it's also helpful to know that a limp leaf or lettuce isn't necessarily something to avoid.

"Local growers are often bringing rare varieties to market that I can't get in the store," the chef told TODAY."My favorite salads have a good variety of greens of all colors and then very simple accompaniments."For this reason, when she's shopping at the grocery store, Berens prioritizes buying from the sections where the greens are refrigerated and exposed .

Because moisture in a pre-packaged bag or box of lettuce or leafy greens falls to the bottom, Berens advises turning the box upside down or holding it up to get a good look at the bottom. It can be common for the greens on top to look fresh, dry and verdant but the bottom to become"a sludgy mess" from all that trapped moisture.Sale produce:"Buy it up if you can eat it up"
