We get tall lettuce (red, green, romaine). I off about an inch of the stalk bottom after rinsing. Then put it in a tall pitcher with about an inch of water. This keeps it crisp, lasts longer and continue to grow.

I never thought to do this! Thank you for the tip!

I have been using the bags that grapes come in, you know the one with the handles to keep my lettuce fresh. I fold a newspaper and line the bag before adding the lettuce…newspaper pulls in moisture. When I’m stuck with too many tomatoes, I do the same with them…holds them for weeks.

I cut the center out with a ceramic knife…not metal. Then I store the lettuce in tin foil and it lasts until I use it within the week, or longer.

I wash my lettuce, tear it to the size I like to use, and spin dry it in the salad spinner.
Normal, right?
Then I empty the water from the spinner and store the whole thing in the fridge. The lettuce stays nice and crispy for about a week.
Siingle and not much for cooking, I have more room inside the fridge than in cabinets! 🙂

Wanna keep that left-over salad, but hate soft, mushy tomatoes, etc.? Drain off any water/juices, put in a sealable plastic bowl (tupperware!). Top with a dry paper towel, seal, then store upside down in the fridge. This Removes any excess water/juices and keeps the produce fresher!

You may already know this, but if you separate your bananas when you bring them home, they also don’t ripen up so fast. 🙂

I’ve been able to keep iceberg lettuce crisp for 2 weeks by: removing the core (hit the core against kitchen sink–it will loosen up and you can wrestle it out), rinsing then draining water out for 15 minutes or so, then either wrap in paper towel and seal in green plastic bag, or store core-side down in plastic bowl with tight fitting lid (be sure lettuce sits above any accumulated water in bottom of bowl). I’ve also been able to store leaf lettuces for a good 10 days: rinse and drain, wrap in paper towels and seal in green plastic bag. Helps if your refrigerator is very cold but doesn’t have freeze areas.
