So easy to just dump in a bowl and add whatever you feel like for lunch. pr Jackie, I would still use the jars because they are cheap, reusable, and protect the lettuce from being squashed.

How would you suggest keeping the lettuce fresh if you don't work. Would you still pack it in the jars? I am a stay at home mom but would love my lettuce to last longer than a day or two. Thanks!

You asked me how I make this with the jars, well, very easy: I take the glass and close it almost completely, then I take a big vacuum-container and I put in that container the glass. After making vacuum in the container the glass is perfectly under vacuum. Lava also has many lids in different sizes that you can put on your bowls at home, the only point is, that the bowl is high enough. Hi Paula,

This would probably work for chives and other herbs as well. I have owned my Food Saver for 15 yrs. and never knew the canister attachment was for jars also. LOL Very educational post!

We also use this way of vacuum sealing with berries we use with the meals, for example strawberrys we keep fresh this way up to 1 week.

It doesn't stay there that long. It use to turn brown in a day, then....I bought a "lettuce" knife. It's plastic and my lettuce no longer turns brown. Cheap and one of my favorite things to have, couldn't live without it now! Hey just wanted to tell everyone that I cut my lettuce up and just put it in a plastic bag. It doesn’t stay there that long.
