Many people are looking for a simple solution to keep their salads fresh. And yes, there are tricks that really work and make all the difference.

 

In this article, I will show you how to keep   your salad fresh, crisp and green for much longer   , thanks to simple and proven methods that really work on a daily basis.

Why does lettuce spoil so quickly?

Lettuce is a very delicate food. It continues to "live" after harvesting:

• Constantly loses moisture
• Sensitive to humidity.
• Certain gases accelerate its wilting.

The major problem lies   in an insufficient level of humidity  :
too humid = rotting;
too dry = wilted lettuce.

 

The key, therefore, is:   perfect balance

The best way: Here's how to keep your salad fresh for up to 7 to 10 days.

This method is simple, effective and suitable for everyday use.

Step 1: Prepare the salad properly

• Remove any damaged or brown leaves
• Only wash lettuce if you intend to use it immediately.
  For longer storage,   keep it unwashed.

Step 2: Control the humidity

• Place the salad in a container or vegetable bin.
• Add a sheet of absorbent paper.

The paper will absorb excess moisture and prevent rot.

Step 3: Do not close tightly.

• Close the lid loosely or leave a small gap.
  The salad needs air to stay fresh.

Step 4: Regular medical check-up

• Change the paper towel every 1 to 2 days.
• Remove any damaged leaves immediately.
