Thursday Tips & Tricks-Keep lettuce crisp


How to keep lettuce fresh and crisp - just put a paper towel with the lettuce in a gallon size zip lock bag.  It absorbs the moisture that causes you lettuce to wilt.  Try it!





I have been doing this as long as I can remember.  Maybe I got it from my mom, but I'm not sure.  And it really does help keep the lettuce crisp longer.  It may seem counter-intuitive but when you've dried of the lettuce with a paper towel, put a new, dry one inside a ziploc baggie and it keeps it crisp.  You might think a paper towel that gets damp would wilt it faster, but as long as it's not really wet, I don't even have to change the paper towel to keep the lettuce good for several days.
