Fresh Lettuce

Usage: Lettuce is a vegetable grown abundantly and utilized all over the world in various dishes. Known particularly for a distinct, light green color and crunchy, moist texture, that is frequently described as “crisp”, lettuce is a frequent choice for cooking various recipes anywhere you look.

In contrast to certain other vegetables, lettuce grows in large heads with broad leaves and hardly any external stem, which allows it to retain large amounts of moisture while growing. Alongside a naturally clear or bland flavor with little odor, this makes it an ingredient that is good on its own, but a great complement to many other ingredients in any other kind of dish, even ones that seem to be spicy.

It seems that if you work in the kitchen often, it is a good idea to have a head or two of raw lettuce around. But how do you store them? Here is a good way to keep lettuce fresh, with each leaf intact, springy, and moist until they are needed.

1) Prepare a large bowl or a clean, plugged sink, as well as a basket/strainer.

2) Cut the very ends of each fresh lettuce stem off.

3) Fill the bowl or sink with cold water and soak the fresh lettuce inside to remove grit and dirt.

4) After they are washed, remove each raw lettuce leaf and place them in the strainer. If necessary, don’t hesitate to cut each washed lettuce leaf to allow them to fit in the strainer without being bent or bruised.

5) Dry the fresh lettuce throughly and cover them with damp kitchen paper towels before placing them in the refrigerator.

When prepared like this, raw lettuce can stay fresh for around 5 days. As such, it’s a good way to keep unused lettuce in the best condition for the next time you want to cook a vegetable dish!
