For some reason all of the organic romaine I have been buying from the store has been going limp really quickly lately. Â I eat A LOT of romaine, so I needed to find a solution to this problem. Â I found a really easy fix…
Cut the base off of the romaine, and stick it into a large beer mug (mine are from Crate & Barrel) filled with high quality filtered water (the same way you would put flowers in a vase). Â It is crucial that you use high quality water since the romaine (or whatever lettuce you will be using) will drink it up and as a result so will you!
Leave the lettuce in its vase out on the counter if you plan on using it that day or put it into the fridge. Â You will be shocked by how quickly it crisps-up. Â I took these pictures yesterday and within the span of an hour my romaine was better than ever.
