I never knew about tomatoes until now, although in retrospect it should have been common sense -- tomatoes aren't refrigerated in the supermarket.<BR/><BR/>The research about lettuce was interesting, though, because there really doesn't seem to be any consensus. My father-in-law has always kept his lettuce as dry as possible and put them in air-tight Tupperware containers, and they do last longer in his house than in ours, but that may have more to do with the fact that the lettuce he buys is more fresh because he gets them from a hydroponics gardener down the street whereas we get ours from the supermarket.rowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689733974224827589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121873905926457624.post-74050011915341648712008-04-22T03:21:00.000+08:002008-04-22T03:21:00.000+08:00Hi Rowie!

I read somewhere that they lose flavor when refrigerated, besides, I don't know if it's an illusion but they seem more juicy in room temperature.<BR/><BR/>I also read about keeping lettuce damp in a bag (though I never do it myself). I found it in an FAQ where a person was asking how to keep his lettuce fresh-looking and not dry. Maybe you only need to do this with dried-out lettuce? I dunno.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your new appliance! :-)Ahoy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01520224180093903352noreply@blogger.com
