Nitrogen packed salad
Posted by: RocketShip ()

I am very busy and sometimes buy precut, prepackaged organic salads to eat. They always have an odd taste and I suspect it has to do with the way that it is packaged with nitrogen. Are there any health issues/problems with eating salads packaged with nitrogen?

yea ive noticed that odd funky smell from prepacked greens ...its a real turn off ..not sure what the issues are but the smell is enought to turn me off

im growing my baby greens in dirt/worm castings under full spectrum growlights indoors untill summer once again floats around

the light energy is probably costing me more then their worth but at least i got a good idea what im eating ..and well sometimes ya gotta pick yer battles smiling smiley

what's LED

i use a full spectrum lightulb

they last forever

one bulb is tantamount to 8 regular bulbs so u would be saving money right there

plus they are used for growing vegetation

cuz they mimic the light of the sun

la_veronique sounds like you are using fluorescent technology. LED is a different tech that is more efficient but still more expensive.
