Three Lettuces - Keeping vegetables for longer

Friday, April 16, 2010

Three identical lettuces were purchased at the same time and stored for ten days in three different ways. Check out the methods and results!

From left to right:

1. Stored at room temperature

2. Stored in the fridge.

3. Stored in a cup of water like cut flowers.

I've got glasses and jars with water up there next to the window with all the stuff I bought from the supermarket yesterday: brocolli, basil, corriander and celery. Will see how it goes.

Anonymous 177 posts	Re: Storing vegetables Posted 20 Apr 10 6:20 AM I agree! Buy it when you plan to eat it. 10 days is along time ... The title of this article is misleading; I was anticipating an article on how to keep 3 types of leaf lettuce growing in our gardens for a longer cycle, so that fresh greens are always at hand for that yummy crunchy salad.
