Best Storage
The fridge is the best place to store lettuce.
Store all varieties of lettuce in the fridge in their original packaging or loosely wrapped in a damp cloth inside a loosely tied bag.
Can I Freeze It?
No.
Foods with high water content, like lettuce and cucumber, do not freeze well.
Fresher For Longer
For longer lasting lettuce, choose whole lettuce instead of lettuce in a bag or clam shell.
Lettuce gone a bit limp? Soak individual leaves in a bowl of cold water in the fridge – they’ll soon perk up.
Use It Up
Cook lettuce in a griddle pan or on the barbeque – it’s the charred bits that make it delicious! Add leftover lettuce to stir fries or soups, such as pea soup.
