Green Ice lettuce is a versatile and heat-tolerant variety known for its crisp texture and deep green, curled leaves.
- Appearance: It combines the crunch of crisphead lettuce with the looseleaf appearance, making it visually appealing.
- Nutritional Benefits: It’s rich in vitamins A, C, K, and B6, as well as iron and potassium.
- Uses: Ideal for salads and sandwiches, adding a sweet, crisp flavor and a pleasing crunch.
To keep your Green Ice lettuce fresh and crisp, follow these steps:
-
Do Not Wash Before Storing: Avoid washing the lettuce before storing it. Excess moisture can promote mold and spoilage.
-
Remove Damaged Leaves: Discard any damaged or wilted leaves to prevent bacteria from spreading.
-
Wrap in Paper Towels: Wrap the whole head of lettuce in a paper towel or a thin dish towel. This helps absorb excess moisture.
-
Use a Plastic Bag: Place the wrapped lettuce in a plastic bag. If you have a microperforated bag, even better, as it allows air circulation.
-
Store in the Crisper Drawer: Keep the lettuce in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This drawer is designed to maintain the right humidity for vegetables.
-
Check Regularly: Periodically check the lettuce and replace the paper towel if it becomes too damp2.
By following these steps, your Green Ice lettuce should stay fresh for up to two weeks..
