Berries
To keep fresh berries longer, it is recommended to wash them with a mixture of vinegar and water (in a ratio of 1:3). After washing, you should additionally rinse the berries with clean water and thoroughly dry them. Such a method will rid them of bacteria, protect them from mold and extend their shelf life for several weeks.

Lettuce leaves
According to experienced housewives, it is better to store lettuce leaves in a container with paper towels on top. In this way, the paper will absorb excess moisture, which causes the leaves to rot. It should be noted that when the towels become damp, they should be replaced with clean, dry ones.
