If the lettuce is still attached to the core, trim the core to reveal a fresh stem and then place the lettuce (core down) in a bowl of water with a sprinkle of sea salt added to the water. The lettuce will absorb the sea salt through the stem an be revived in a few hours. This works wonders in hot climate that cause lettuce to wilt quickly after harvest.
You can eat wilted lettuce. However, you should make sure that the lettuce does not have mold and does not feel slimy.
Lettuce is not usually cooked; however, it is sometimes "wilted" for certain types of salads, by pouring hot oil or grease over the lettuce.
Because the salt quickly causes dehydration.
Submerging lettuce in ice cold water will help crisp it up and make it crunchy. The cold temperature will help to revive wilted leaves and make the lettuce more refreshing to eat. It's a common technique used to freshen up lettuce before using it in salads.
In the ground spray over with water and if cut dip in water and put in the fridge.
wilted lettuce are in a plasmolysed condition,when they are placed in a cold water or hypotonic solution then water enters the leaves by thye process of endosmosis and the leaves becomes deplasmolysed and they become crisp.
it is to do with the water potential
I believe stomata size will be the same after it enters the thylakoid memberane and wikapedia sucks because anyone can edit the information that is being given ight!!, it may appear small from wilt, stomata's vary in sizes from 100 to 1000 th of a millamitre in all plant species. If the stomata is reduced in size from wilt it will still function, maybe a fraction less that unwilted Lettuce. Regards Wayne Muller Barmac Industries Pty Ltd
Not in ice water but cold water- it gets nice and crispy especially if you add a little bit of sugar
