But that doesn't make it any more sensible. Cut leafy greens are handled more than greens whose leaves are intact, giving the bug more of an opportunity to spread, but the big 2006 e coli outbreak traced to spinach involved whole leaves, rather than cut ones. Also, even then the FDA recommeddation was to thoroughly cook the spinach, so they basically acknowledged that the real problem concerned ready to eat leafy greens rather than greens that are intended to be cooked.Devrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14288343763430736154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777594846712445966.post-78534852800575157812010-06-09T22:54:22.719-07:002010-06-09T22:54:22.719-07:00Hey there, I just came upon this post and am wondering--what is it specifically that is considered hazardous about the cut leafy greens? I'm finding a lot of stuff regarding the e coli outbreaks but I'm guessing that is dissociated with that. Thanks for the clarification and post!Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02031104391735103991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777594846712445966.post-44847007734787862182010-05-19T13:06:32.389-07:002010-05-19T13:06:32.389-07:00Totally off topic, but I worked at the farmer's markets last summer and fell in love with your quesadillas. Yum! My better half and I are coming back to Seattle to work the markets for my grandparents' farm again this summer and I am really looking forward to treating myself to a hot lunch during a long day of selling produce.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10417375688557882625noreply@blogger.com
