Lettuce is a delicate vegetable with a high water content and will begin to spoil quickly due to loss of moisture when exposed to very cold temperatures.
They also may begin to spoil when exposed to certain fruits and vegetables which produce ethylene gas, a growth hormone that can speed up the ripening process.
If you are storing lettuce near your tomatoes this may be causing both the tomatoes and lettuce to deteriorate before their time, and there is a much more effective way to keep both of these veggies fresher for longer.
And if you have a head of wilting lettuce that you are considering throwing away, then you can bring it back to life by soaking it in cold water for 30 minutes.
This should help revive the leafy green for you to use up that day, helping you save money on your food shopping in the long run.
