3 Tips to Reduce Food Waste

Search Lettuce After purchasing or harvesting lettuce and greens, rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Throughouly dry them before storingg, Excess moisture can cause greens to wilt quickly, so it's essential to ensure they are completely dry before storing.
