I tried three lettuce storage hacks - one kept salad leaf fresh for more than a week (Image: Getty) Lettuce is a great summer staple in many people’s fridges as it can be added to burgers, salads or sandwiches. However, often, many people don’t get to finish the lettuce because they can go off within a couple of days. Whether purchasing romaine, iceberg or sweet gem, all lettuce has a very short shelf-life.

I decided to try out three storage hacks including keeping it in a fridge container designed for fruit and vegetables, a ziplock bag with some kitchen roll and simply leaving in the packet it came in. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.

setAttribute('src','https://live.primis.tech/live/liveView.

php?s=114945&playerApiId=v114945');document.getElementById('ovp-primis').appendChild(el)}window.

top.addEventListener('primisPlayerInit',e=>{try{if(e.detail&&e.

detail.playerApiId==="v114945"){if(window.document.

getElementsByClassName('jwplayer')[0]){e.detail.float('disable')}}}catch(e){}});window.

addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',()=>{setTimeout(()=>{if(typeof flagTcfLoaded!=='undefined'&&flagTcfLoaded===!0){loadOvpScript()ExpressApp.Log('[Load] OVP flagTcfLoaded',new Date())}else{document.addEventListener("tcfLoaded",()=>{loadOvpScript()ExpressApp.

Log('[Load] OVP tcfLoaded',new Date())})}},1500)}) Sometimes leaving fruit and vegetables in the packets they come in is convenient and quick, but it’s likely you’ll end up with a lot of food waste.
