How to store Lettuce

How do you keep your lettuce fresher, longer? Wrap whole lettuce in a lightly [not soaked] damp paper towel, then in GLAD ClingWrap. After a full week, your well-protected lettuce retains 99% of its moisture! (The unwrapped variety only keeps 60% of its moisture.) Salads of the world, rejoice!

How to store Onions

Onions love a dry dark place. Keep them in the pantry. Store in a breathable bag (paper bag or breathable bag). Do not store next to potatoes. Potatoes give off moisture which causes the onions to spoil. Keep your onions dark because sunlight will react to change the flavor of the onions. Once onions are cut, they should be stored in the fridge in wrapped tightly in GLAD ClingWrap.

How to store Potatoes

Potatoes love cooler temperatures (7 degrees C is perfect) and do not like sunlight. Place your potatoes in a breathable bag (such as a paper bag or breathable bag) and store in the pantry. Fridge temperatures will cause the starch in potatoes to convert to sugar which will affect the flavour.

How to store Pumpkin

Ripen at room temperature. Once cut, leave skin on. Seal tightly with GLAD® Press’n Seal and store in the veggie drawer in the fridge.

How to store Sweetcorn

Keep your corn on the cob, just-picked fresh. Soak it in cold water for 5 minutes, dry it, then wrap it in GLAD ClingWrap. You’ll save over 99% of its moisture after 7 days*. Unprotected corn loses lots of moisture and freshness. Crunchy corn — even after days in the fridge. Amazing!
