<\/p>\n

The storage tip comes from Zero Waste Week who is on a mission to \u201creduce salad waste\u201d amongst other food waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI can help you keep those pesky salad leaves fresher for longer, which means your budget will stretch further and you can get a high five from Mother Nature for doing your bit,\u201d they wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was a picture of salad leaves that were \u201cpretty fresh\u201d. In fact they were \u201cten days old\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for how the salad remained unwilted, they revealed: \u201cI simply separated the leaves when I got them home and put them into a container of water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat container was kept in the fridge and hey guess what? No wilting salad, even after ten days\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There wasn\u2019t details about whether the water was changed regularly, or the storage container the lettuce was kept in. But Taste Great Foodie shared the same storage tip with more detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instructions:\u00a0<\/h3>\n

1. Soak and wash lettuce, either cored with leaves pulled apart, or as a whole.\u00a0
2. Put into an airtight container submerged in water.\u00a0
3. Remove leaves when needed or use entire lettuce.\u00a0
4. You can change the water every three days so the lettuce lasts longer.\u00a0
4. Lettuce stays fresh anywhere from 10 days to a whole month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Can bacteria form on the lettuce while submerged in water?\u00a0<\/h3>\n

The experts said \u201cmould can\u2019t grow on something fully submerged in water, especially for a two to four week span\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To ensure the lettuce is really clean, soaking it in vinegar and thoroughly washing it before submerging it \u201ccan lessen the risk of bacteria\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
