Separate the greens from the radishes. Cut the hull and tip off of the radishes and store in water. Wash the greens and store separately (see “storing lettuce”).

Got a tip from A’s mom. Press all of the air out of the bags of greens and lettuce. Here is what we are doing with the abundance of CSA lettuce. Any suggestions for better preservation are appreciated.

Wash and fully dry everything upon arrival.

Bundle and wrap in dry paper towel.

Wrap tightly in a plastic bag while pressing out all air.

Label with a post-it and wrap with a rubber band.

If necessary, crisp the lettuce in a bath of cold water and spin before serving.
