I think that would be a perfect addition!

Right, especially when you’re getting TONS of greens in a CSA basket. It can be very overwhelming to new shareholders!

LOL it makes my feet feel great, too. It’s natural products so I figure, it can’t hurt, right?

Do you think it would work to add essential oils to this foot detox? I have eucalyptus oil that I think would work nicely.

I think everyone can use tips for storing vegetables properly to prevent spoilage. The other day someone was telling me about storing celery wrapped in aluminum foil — that was a new one — evidently, it keeps it crisp longer. Thanks for sharing these tips on Hearth & Soul!

Thanks for this recipe! I made it and have used it 3x. The first time I thought it felt great, my skin was so soft, but could not tell if anything was detoxed out of me. Then I forgot to do it for a few days and did it night before last and last night – both times the water stank like bleach when I was done soaking. The water or my feet did not have an odor when I started. It freaked me out at first, but then I remembered a friend of mine did the ionic foot detoxes where the water turns color and she said after a few of those it stank like bleach also. Weird!

Thanks for the link! We get about a 1/2 a bushel and we eat lots of veggies and I cook from scratch alot. So splitting a share doesn’t work for us. I tried that last year with my first CSA experiment and we never had enough stuff.

We always split our CSA share with another family so that we don't have as much go bad. Storing everything properly as soon as you get it is a very good idea! I try to plan menus that use the fastest-spoiling things first; since we get our CSA on Wednesdays, I plan meals only through Tuesday, we improvise using the new veggies on Wed., and then I plan meals for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday using the new veggies. Anything we're not likely to use by Sunday gets frozen or otherwise preserved. I find that many vegetables can be frozen raw, if they're shredded, and they're very convenient for adding to recipes later.
