Is lettuce a genetically modified vegetable? How to keep it fresh?

1. Are they genetically modified vegetables?

Lettuce is not a genetically modified vegetable, but research on genetic modification has been conducted. Common genetically modified foods nowadays include soybeans and corn, while others are very uncommon. In addition, there are also genetically modified tomatoes, but the taste is not very good and the skin is thicker than usual, so they are rarely seen nowadays. Since it is not genetically modified, you can eat it with confidence. Even babies can eat it, but in moderation.

2. Preservation Methods

1. Store in the refrigerator: After washing the lettuce, wipe off the moisture with a paper towel, tie the leaves with a rope, and then put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. But be careful not to let its leaves touch the inner wall of the refrigerator. But don’t store it for too long, it can only be kept for about 3-5 days. If it is stored for too long, the taste will become very bad.

2. Preservation in a plastic bag: If you do not put it in the refrigerator, you can wipe the water off the lettuce, put it in a plastic bag, and place it in a cool place. It can be kept for about 3 days.

3. Notes

When storing it, be careful not to put it together with ripe apples or bananas, otherwise it will easily cause reddish-brown spots to appear on the lettuce leaves. And before putting it in the refrigerator, be sure to dry it out first.
