HOW TO SELECT FRESH LETTUCE?
Choose a head with its dark green outer leaves intact and that’s healthy looking. Avoid overly large heads of romaine, which may have tough, fibrous leaves.
HOW TO STORE AND KEEP LETTUCE FRESH?
- Wash your lettuce, and remove any damaged leaves.
- Dry your lettuce thoroughly.
- Wrap the lettuce in a dry paper towel and place it in a plastic bag or storage container.
- To maintain the proper temperature and moisture level, store your lettuce in the crisper drawer in your fridge.
- Replace the paper towel anytime it feels especially wet. This is the key to keeping your lettuce from getting slimy.
- Check your lettuce every day or two. Remove any leaves that are beginning to go bad. This will keep the rest of the lettuce from spoiling.
- Loose lettuce leaves should be used within seven to ten days.
