The tricky thing about lettuce and other leafy greens is that they can’t stay fresh for too long. Even if you store them properly, they’ll go bad after a while, leaving you with wilted leaves. However, that doesn’t mean that you should throw them away, because you can easily revive them in three short steps.
Trim Your Leaves
The first thing you’ll have to do is figure out which leaves can be used and which are better thrown away. Get rid of the leaves that are beyond saving or trim the parts that are in such a bad shape it’s better not to eat them.
Ice Bath
After trimming your leafy greens, you should submerge them in a bowl of ice-cold water. After putting them inside the bowl, you should place them inside your fridge and let them soak for between 15 and 30 minutes to stop them from warming up at room temperature.
Drying Up
After using the ice batch method to revive your leafy greens, it’s time to wash them and dry them up properly. Eating them right away is your best bet, because they may not be in such great shape if you save them for later.
