So I find myself eating a lot of lettuce, but hate that it goes brown so quickly.
I wish I could try this tip, but I don't have a vacuum-pack machine.
Oh, but wait! She has links to articles on how to do this WITHOUT a vacuum-pack machine!
One article uses a Ziplock hand pump.

This video shows how to use the Ziplock pump with a canning jar or even an old spaghetti jar - no special bags needed!

Pam Maeker Payne posted: Have you tried using baby spinach instead of lettuce? Much more nutritious tastes better, and lasts much longer.
