Should you eat lettuce with brown edges?
Lettuce with brown edges is generally safe to eat, but it may indicate that the leaves are starting to spoil or dry out. It's best to remove any brown or wilted parts and assess the rest of the lettuce for freshness. If the lettuce feels slimy or has an off smell, it's better to discard it. Always use your best judgment when it comes to food safety.
Can mixing romaine lettuce with fresh spinach and arugula cause it to spoil quicker than normal?
No, adding fresh greens of different varieties won't cause romaine lettuce, or any lettuce, to spoil faster. That's assuming nothing added to the lettuce is on the verge of spoiling itself. (If you toss a rotting apple in a barrel of apples, the other apples will spoil faster due to the introduction of the rotting apple.) However, the introduction of excess water from the added greens CAN accelerate the spoilage process. To minimize the excess moisture, you can roll up the greens in one or more paper towels, which will help keep the greens moist enough, but not too moist. Then place the rolled up greens and paper towels in a plastic bag, and place them in the vegetable bin in the refrigerator.
How should I store lettuce in the fridge to keep it fresh for longer?
To keep lettuce fresh for longer in the fridge, store it in a perforated plastic bag or a container lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Place the bag or container in the crisper drawer of the fridge. Avoid washing the lettuce before storing it, as moisture can cause it to spoil faster.
