Lettuce added to lunch or dinner is a great way to increase your recommended daily intake of vitamins and other nutrients.
However, most housewives note with bitterness that their well-cleaned lettuce quickly spoils, begins to rot and becomes brownish.
You can prevent these processes with a few easy steps. While preparing it for storage, be sure to wash it with ice-cold water, which helps to preserve the taste and crunchiness of lettuce for a longer time.
1. After carefully washing the leaves with cold water, place the lettuce in a suitable deep strainer.
2. If you do not have such a household appliance, you can dry the leaves with kitchen paper. To do this, spread a few sheets of paper on the kitchen counter and spread the lettuce on them.
Wait a few minutes for the excess water to be absorbed. To save time, you can lightly wrap the sheets and blotting paper in the form of a roll, then gently unroll.
3. Place the well-dried leaves in plastic bags that allow them to close completely. Before closing the envelope, remove excess air.
4. Place the envelope in the refrigerator. Each time you remove the lettuce leaf, vent it again before closing the bag. The product thus prepared, following these methods, can be stored for up to a week.
Be sure to remove dark stains on lettuce leaves during cleaning. Moisture emitted from these areas can damage other healthy leaves.
Frequent consumption of lettuce has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract. It also helps the liver to function better.
An interesting detail about lettuce is that their slight bitterness comes from the milky juice found in the fragile leaves of the plant.
