🧊 Storage Instructions

🏠 Whole Lettuce Head

  • Store unwashed lettuce in a refrigerator crisper wrapped in paper towel and placed inside a ventilated plastic bag.
  • Stays fresh for 5–7 days when kept at 2–4°C.

🥬 Washed or Chopped Leaves

  • Wash thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
  • Keep in an airtight container lined with dry paper towels.
  • Consume within 2–3 days for maximum freshness and flavor.

✅ Handling Tips

  • Wash gently under cold running water before use to remove any debris.
  • Dry well using a salad spinner or paper towel to avoid sogginess.
  • Do not freeze fresh lettuce — it loses texture and quality.
  • Pair with olive oil, lemon, or vinegar-based dressings to enhance flavor without overpowering its natural crispness.
