    Does soaking lettuce in ice water diminish its food value?
    Community Answer
    No. Soaking any lettuce in ice cold water for about 10 minutes shouldn't affect the nutrients, and will help crisp up wilted leaves.

  • Question
    I have a pepper that's been sitting on the counter for a couple days and is a little wilted. I thought I had recalled something about using vinegar to somehow put life back in my vegetables, is this accurate?
    Community Answer
    Vinegar will help your vegetables to last a bit longer, but don't try it more than once, or your vegetables will have the vinegar taste.

    Does sugar water crisp lettuce?
    Community Answer
    Plain water will crisp lettuce pretty well, so there is no need for sugar.

  • Question
    What do I use if I don't have a salad spinner?
    Community Answer
    Place lettuce in a clean dish towel, and while you’re holding the ends closed, simply swing the towel over your head. Centrifugal force is what does the trick (though you may want to walk outside to do it).
