]]>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.

]]>Paper Towels Are Your Friend
One of the simplest ways to keep lettuce fresh includes nothing but a piece of paper towel. If you usually keep the lettuce in a bag it came with, you’ve probably noticed the moisture forming inside it, which leads to a shorter lifespan.
Lettuce needs moisture and air circulation to stay fresh, and you can provide that by putting a damp paper towel at the bottom of the plastic container before putting the lettuce on top of it.
Keeping It Dry
It may seem counterintuitive but it will work like a charm. The damp paper will keep the lettuce from drying out while keeping it crisp as it allows airflow. The same method can be applied for pre-packed lettuce and for whole heads, but if you buy lettuce in heads, make sure to chop, wash, and dry it first before storing it as described above. Not only it will last longer but it will be ready to just grab for a quick meal!
