Don't just put lettuce in the fridge! Keep it fresh forever with this method!

How to store fresh lettuce

Today, I'll share some great tips for keeping lettuce, which tends to wilt easily, fresh until you're ready to eat it. Lettuce can easily spoil due to cell damage if stored improperly or cut with a knife. Because lettuce tends to wilt more easily than other vegetables, proper storage is crucial.

Store without washing

Store newly purchased lettuce without washing it. Even if you're concerned about contaminants, washed lettuce can easily become moldy and mushy if not properly shaken. On the other hand, unwashed lettuce retains its natural protective layer, reducing moisture loss and allowing for a longer shelf life.

Using a kitchen towel

Wrap the lettuce in a paper towel while it's still unwashed. The paper towel helps regulate the humidity, which is important for storing lettuce, and prevents it from wilting quickly.

Store in a sanitary bag

Wrap the lettuce in a paper towel and place it back in the plastic bag. Remove as much air as possible and close the bag.

Afterwards, store in the fresh drawer of the refrigerator. Lettuce stays fresher longer the lower it is stored.

Precautions when eating

When eating lettuce, it's best to remove the outer leaves. They can contain a lot of impurities, so it's best to discard them.

When preparing the vegetables, rather than cutting them with a knife, separate the outer leaves one by one, then wash them before eating. Cutting with a knife can damage the cells and accelerate spoilage.
