I'm particularly interested in growing lettuce indoors. Has anyone used these for vegetables in the kitchen?

It would probably work good indoors. I purchased for my mother and she plans to use outdoors once the winter season is over.

Yes, these would work very well, there is a nice background juice that comes with the larger pieces of chopped up tomato. You might have to cut up some of the larger pieces of tomato, but I think it would very well in that application.

They are 1 1/4 inch deep. Yeah they would probably be great to cook vegetables in.

As long as works (not long befor it breaks) it does a good job of lettuce and other greens. I would recommend you find a cheeper one that would make you happy. I have a 10.00 dollar one that has lasted for years tha does as good!

I don't think so. If they were, the packaging would say so. They might help indoor plants, but not herbs and vegetables.Stanley~

Yes, these apples work for me. I keep my greens in a vegetable drawer in the fridge that has a lever to allow more or less air in and out (to control humidity for different kinds of produce). Therefore there is some air interchange but not an unrestricted flow. If you have to store your produce in plastic bags, I'd make sure they were fairly thick ones, not the flimsy ones the store gives out because they are likely to cling to the leaves and prevent air from circulating between the veggies and the apple. Or you might want to invest in a largish plastic bin with a lid.

I found that if you cut the vegetables up a bit smaller it seems to work better. I've had good results with just two tomatoes. Keep experimenting to see what works for you.

Yes they can. Will make it more like finely shredded lettuce. I use them for almost all my veggies..

I have only used it for carrots but I imagine zucchini or small cucumbers might work. For the results you get with the carrots alone, it is well worth the price.

I'm sorry to say that I've never tried them with lettuce. I use them for apples, oranges, melons, and grapes with great success - never bananas or cucumbers. I have a lettuce keeper that works great and usually get bagged lettuce so it's never been an issue.

I've used a large zucchini in the opening and it was fine. The unit is really well made and sturdy. I'd say it can accomodate a veggie as large as two to three inches around.

Yep, this will work great for Kale & Lettuce!.. This fixture should illuminate roughly a 2' x 4' area and will work great for leafy greens, herbs and mostly all short plants! Hope this helps & please remember to shop with Healthy Harvest FLORIDA! ;)

I am using it to grow herbs indoors. It seems to provide less light to the plants compared to normal sunlight. My belief is that vegetables might fare worse than the herbs (basil and parsley).

Never used it for that. I grow peppers indoors. Not so hot on flowering to be honest.

Yes it can work very well with big and long vegetables. there's no container holding the vegs and it actually works better if the veg is thicker.

They work really well because their edges are sharp. However, I do suggest cutting the hard vegetables into a thickness that is no greater than 1/4 inch.

Work great with a seal a meal.we use them to put up vegetables all summer long.
