That is gross, I agree. My ex-mil used to rinse out ziplocs and save them. I don't buy heads of lettuce much anymore. I usually buy the bagged variety.

It's questionable. Definitely not something I would do.

We keep a garden, so I harvest only what my family will consume in the next day or so. After washing lettuce, I dry it, spread it over a clean kitchen towel, roll it up carefully, and store it in the fridge until meal time. In winter, I tend to serve cooked greens, like spinach, which are sturdy enough to last in the mesh bags I use for other types of produce.

i agree

or not to mention, cooks - coughed, hacked, sneeze, or dripping sweat into the food...
some kitchens get well into the 90's and people sweat-we just hope it doesnt drip


my definition or frame of reference for "gross" far exceeds a plastic bag

That's exactly my thought. I'm not concerned about whether or not it's clean, I'm concerned about the fact that it's not food grade plastic. I don't particularly want stuff touching my food that wasn't designed to touch my food.
