Lettuce, a quintessential summer staple, often goes off quickly, leading to food waste. To combat this, three storage hacks were tested: leaving lettuce in its packet, storing it in a fruit fridge storage container, and placing it in a sandwich bag with kitchen roll. Surprisingly, the sandwich bag method proved most effective, keeping lettuce fresh for over a week. The kitchen roll absorbs excess moisture, preventing spoilage. This simple and effective hack reduces food waste and ensures crisp and fresh lettuce for your summer meals.

The method involves chopping the lettuce, washing it in a salad spinner, and then placing it in an airtight container lined with paper towels. The paper towels absorb excess moisture, creating an optimal environment for the lettuce to stay crisp and prevent wilting.
