I was wondering if some of the more seasoned travellers who go weeks without seeing a town could tell me what they do about fresh greens. I like my leafy lettuce and fresh tomatoes but can see them getting a bit off on a long extended trip like the Canning stock route.

Do you just have fresh greens for the first week and then go to tin beans or is there some travelling trick. I remember reading where long distance chinese sailors centuries ago would grow alfalfa sprouts and bean sprouts in containers to have their fresh greens while at sea for months. CaptainCook would just serve up rotten food and whip the sailors who did not eat it. A bit drastic.

Any other tips for the types of food to pack for longer than two week trips where you can't get to towns.

Cheers
