A woman has shared a trick to keep lettuce crisp for over a month – using water and a container.

Lama, from Florida, US, said the food tip is useful for holidaymakers who spend weeks away from home and explained that it is easy to follow the simple steps.

Sharing the hack on TikTok @tastegreatfoodie, she removes the lettuce leaves from the package and places them into a preserve jar before adding water into it.

Then she fills it until the lettuce are all covered in water.

Lama says: "This is a great way to keep your lettuce nice and fresh. Submerge it in water and it can last in the refrigerator for up to one month.

"The leaves will remain nice and crisp, just pull them out of the fridge and drain it. You should definitely give this a try!"

She gave further instructions in the comments, suggesting that changing the water "every other day" and adding a paper towel under the cap can keep the moisture inside.

To document her trial on the hack, she posted another video a month later to show the results.

She takes the lettuce out from the jar and bends it to test for the crispiness – and there goes the crunching sound of the vegetable.

Viewers were excited about the simple trick, with one commenting: "This is great for buying the lettuce for the whole month, instead of every three days!"

"This is awesome for our home, as there is just two of us and my husband rarely eats lettuce," a second added.

But some said they would rather go to the supermarket and buy a new pack.

To answer this, Lama said the trick is useful when you are away for a long vacation.

"When you leave the house on a 7-day trip for instance, rather than throwing that lettuce away if it gets bad you can just submerge it in water," she adds.
