    Remove the moisture from your shredded lettuce and then store it in a sealable plastic bag.
  • Question
    Will cutting lettuce with stainless steel cause it to turn brown?
    Community Answer
    No, but cutting lettuce in general can make it brown quicker. If possible, just tear or cut enough lettuce for one meal at a time.
  • Question
    Should I cut sweetheart cabbage the same as any other cabbage?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you should.
  • Question
    What do I do if I want to grate, not chop, and I want it fine, not coarse?
    Community Answer
    You would need to use a very sharp grater to get finely grated cabbage. Otherwise, the rubbing motion might make the tightly packed leaves of the cabbage sections disintegrate.
