Lettuce goes bad quickly due to its high water content, which makes it susceptible to microbial growth and spoilage. It is also sensitive to ethylene gas produced by other fruits and vegetables, accelerating its deterioration. Additionally, improper storage conditions, such as high humidity and temperature, can further shorten its shelf life. To extend freshness, it's best to store lettuce in a cool, dry place and in a breathable container.
