These Food Saver Sheets Make Lettuce Last a Week Longer

If you’ve ever thrown away a week’s worth of produce that went bad before you were ready to eat it, then you know the desperate search to find ways to make your fruits and veggies last even a little bit longer. Lettuce, in particular, is an especially tricky food to store and keep fresh for more than a few days. There are options — you can keep it in its original bag, pull out the plastic wrap, or try your luck with your own storage container. But frustration always hits when, like clockwork, you finally opt to make a fresh salad only to be greeted with brown, soggy leaves not long after your grocery store run.

But what if we told you that there’s a better way to prolong the life of your produce? There is such a hack, and it happens to be reusable, a massive money saver, and only $15 at Amazon.

Freshpaper Reusable Food Saver Sheets

Freshpaper’s reusable food storage sheets are a clever and easy way to keep your lettuce crisp and fresh for longer, no matter what container you keep it in. They are made from BPA-free, food-safe paper infused with a blend of organic botanicals that work to naturally extend the shelf life of produce by two to four times the average length. Each package comes with eight different sheets you can keep reusing for a month, or until the maple scent of the sheet fades. Using them is as simple as adding a sheet to any bag, carton, or container you’re housing your produce in, including your countertop fruit bowl or a carton of berries in the fridge. If the sheet doesn’t fit, it can be cut to slide more easily inside smaller packaging. Then, when you’ve finished your bag of lettuce (or whatever produce you’re eating), just remove the sheet and save it for next week’s groceries.

With fruits and veggies that last longer, you’ll easily save money and prevent unnecessary food waste. And when it’s finally time to throw away your sheets, Freshpaper is biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable, further reducing any environmental impact. 

Over 4,000 Amazon shoppers have given these reusable sheets five stars, with many saying they’re “genius” and can extend the life of bagged lettuce by up to “a week.” One reviewer noted that previously, their bagged lettuce would need to be thrown away after just a few days, but since adding these sheets, their lettuce has stayed fresh for longer — and they’ve saved money, too. Another called these sheets “magic,” saying they’ve seen a difference with how long their pre-cut lettuce lasts when they add a sheet to the lettuce bag.

With a sheet of Freshpaper close by, you store any type of produce and enjoy it for longer. Save yourself a midweek trip to the grocery store (and the guilt of wasting food) while an 8-pack is on sale for just $15.
