Keeping Cut Lettuce

 

Farm Friends ask us this question frequently.

How do you keep cut lettuce?

Here is Farmer Caryl’s tried and true way to keep CUT lettuce 2-3 weeks.

  1. Take a bowl of really cold water and place the lettuce in the water to wash/rinse. Leave in water approximately 30 minutes.

  2. Drain water and spin water off in salad spinner.

  3. Put the lettuce on a cotton towel (not terry), and loosely wrap the lettuce in the towel.

  4. Put wrapped lettuce in a plastic bag. A grocery bag works perfect.

  5. Put bag in lettuce crisper drawer in fridge. Our lettuce keeps for weeks.
