<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/p>\nThere\u2019s nothing better than biting into a salad or a sandwich with fresh lettuce. Whether it\u2019s Romaine lettuce, Iceberg lettuce or bags of lettuce, the leafy greens should last long enough for people to enjoy for multiple meals.<\/p>\n
However, greens can quickly decay, and go limp or soggy if left at the bottom of the fridge.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, fans of cleaning and home influencer Mrs Hinch, whose full name is Sophie Hinchliffe, have shared their food storage hacks for longer-lasting lettuce.<\/p>\n
The lifestyle influencer has more than 4.7 million followers on Instagram and often shares her own food, cleaning and home hacks on the social media platform.<\/p>\n
Fans of hers have taken to social media in recent years to share their own methods for solving common household problems like storing food.<\/p>\n

On one such group, Facebook user Suzanne Haslam asked: \u201cI know this isn’t a cleaning tip but does anyone have any tips to keep bags of lettuce (namely Iceberg) fresher for longer in the fridge? [I\u2019m] fed up of it turning brown so soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
The post was inundated with advice but the most suggested food storage hack was to use kitchen towel.<\/p>\n
Joanne Thurlby said: \u201cWrap in kitchen paper.\u201d Gail Evans agreed and posted: \u201cPut a paper towel in the bag, game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trisha Corr replied: \u201cWrap it up in kitchen roll and put it in the freezer bag and keep it in a salad drawer at the bottom of the fridge. It lasts ages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Nora Cleary commented: \u201cDampen a few sheets of kitchen roll and place it in the bag with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Anne Jones suggested: \u201cI take mine out of any plastic wrapping and wrap it in kitchen roll. It’s the damp that makes them go off.\u201d<\/p>\n Sheila Duffy said: \u201cPut the food in a zip bag. Place a piece of kitchen roll just inside the bag. It lasts for ages.\u201d<\/p>\n Josephine O Sullivan posted: \u201cRemove it from the plastic bag and if it\u2019s moist, dry it.<\/p>\n \u201cThen, wrap it in kitchen roll, or wrap it in a dry, clean tea towel and place it in the fridge.\u201d<\/p>\n Kitchen roll can be found in most homes but those who don\u2019t have any can buy it from most local supermarkets.<\/p>\n Wilko Kitchen Towel 1 Roll 2 Ply costs \u00a32. Nicky Super Shine Large Sheets Multi-Purpose Kitchen Towel costs \u00a31 for one roll.<\/p>\n A packet of six kitchen rolls from Essential Waitrose cost \u00a36. Springforce Jumbo Kitchen Towel 240 Sheets cost \u00a31.35 from Tesco.<\/p>\n Other suggestions from Mrs Hinch fans included using kitchen foil, a salad spinner, cling film, not using a knife to cut lettuce, zip lock bags and cold water with coal.<\/p>\n Bex Howell said: \u201cBuy a head of lettuce and wrap it in foil, it keeps for weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n Emma Soule replied: \u201cStore it in a salad spinner when it\u2019s cut and washed.\u201d<\/p>\n Barbara Macrae wrote: \u201cI wrap mine in cling film. It keeps for two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n Susan Gorman commented: \u201cTear off leaves rather than cut it with a knife.\u201d<\/p>\n Julie Stansfield said: \u201cDon\u2019t use a metal knife. This is what turns it brown.\u201d<\/p>\n Sandra Quail suggested: \u201cI put mine in a zip lock bag. Keep it in a salad drawer. It lasts for ages.\u201d<\/p>\n Pat McAtominey wrote: \u201cMy mam always kept her lettuce in a bucket of cold water with a clean lump of coal. It kept it really crispy.\u201d<\/p>\n
