What kind of lettuce?

I buy romaine lettuce and radicchio and with the romaine I open the bag, wash only what I am going to use, and then stuff paper towels in the bag with the lettuce to keep it dry. The radicchio is a small head of lettuce and I tear off what I am going to use, wash what I am using, and wrap the rest of the head up in paper towels and put it into a baggie.

I replace the paper towels every time I use the lettuce.

Some people use a container and put layers of lettuce/paper towel/lettuce etc. until the container is full. The fuller the container the longer the lettuce will last!

I also use paper towels in the bag with my cilantro, parsley, leaf lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.

I think the key to longer lasting veggies is to keep it dry and free of air in the container/bag!
