How to Wash Rocket Leaves?

To effectively wash rocket leaves, use the salad spinner soak method.

Here's a step-by-step guide to washing rocket leaves using the salad spinner soak method:

1. Prepare the Salad Spinner: Fill the salad spinner basin (approximately 10x10 inches) with cold water.

2. Add Rocket Leaves: Place the basket insert of the salad spinner into the basin filled with cold water. Then, gently place the rocket leaves into the basket.

3. Agitate and Soak: Gently agitate the rocket leaves within the water using your hand. This helps to dislodge any dirt or debris. Allow the rocket leaves to soak for a minute or two. Repeat the agitation.

4. Drain the Water: Carefully lift the salad spinner basket out of the basin, allowing the dirty water to drain back into the basin. Discard the dirty water.

5. Spin to Dry: Replace the basket in the salad spinner, place the lid on, and spin the leaves to remove excess water.

6. Repeat if Necessary: If the rocket leaves appear to still have dirt or debris, repeat steps 1-5.

7. Store or Use: Once the rocket leaves are clean and dry, you can use them immediately or store them in the refrigerator in a container lined with paper towels for later use.
