Crisp, clean, and ready when you are. Say goodbye to wilted greens and soggy bags. Storing lettuce in jars is one of the simplest swaps that saves money and makes healthy eating easier.

Here’s How

1Wash and dry romaine, green leaf, or butter lettuce thoroughly. A salad spinner helps.
2Tear or chop into bite-size pieces.
3Use a clean quart-size mason jar (dry it well).
4Pack the lettuce in loosely — don't mash it down.
5Seal with a lid and store in the fridge. No need to vacuum seal!
6Grab handfuls as needed for salads, sandwiches, or wraps.

Tips

–Jars keep lettuce fresh for up to 7–10 days when dry and sealed.
–Place a dry paper towel on top before sealing for extra moisture control.
–Great for prepping individual salad jars with dry toppings (add dressing later!).
