Lettuce is a food that is best eaten fresh, so it tends to go bad quickly. This occurs mainly due to its sensitivity to humidity and cold, and its tendency to freeze.
For this reason, one of the most important tips to keep lettuce fresh is not to expose it directly to the cold of the fridge and not to let it touch the icy walls.

The next time you buy lettuce, try the following home hack. We assure you that it will work. You should start by chopping the lettuce into strips, for which you can help yourself with scissors to hold it, and a knife to cut.
Then, wash the lettuce thoroughly to remove any traces of dirt, and proceed to dry it with a lettuce spinner, or a drainer and kitchen paper.
The most important step is to store the chopped lettuce in a glass jar, covering the edge with a dry kitchen paper. This jar is covered and kept upside down in the fridge, after which the lettuce can last good and crisp for a month.
