To keep iceberg lettuce crisp and fresh, remove any damaged outer leaves and wrap the head loosely in a paper towel or clean cloth.

Avoid storing it near fruits like apples or bananas, as they release ethylene gas that can cause the lettuce to brown faster. It's best to use it within a week for optimal quality.
