I bought a large one but have not used it yet for a head of lettuce. Another reviewer wrote that he could not get an entire intact head of lettuce in it, had to cut it in half. I think it kind of depends on the size of the head of lettuce. I certainly believe that it would hold an intact head of lettuce of the size I most often see in my grocery store. All I can tell you is that I have used these (I bought several sizes) on different fruits, particularly strawberries, and I have been able to keep those berries for at least 2 weeks with no signs of deterioration. I really like these storage bowls! I bought a large one but have not used it yet for a head of lettuce.

These are really good with lettuce, I mainly use spinach and it lasts over a week but if you line a paper towel (on top of the green tray inside) in with the produce, it lasts even longer. Another option is the Brawny Produce Protectors, they're a pain to clean but take up less space and work just as well as the tupperware does.

They are great with lettuce. The bottom tray keeps any water off the lettuce and lets the air circulate. Be sure to use a lettuce knife when cutting which helps the lettuce last even longer.

I've used it with arugula and it seems to have just about doubled the usual refrigerator life. Same with berries.

Since they are in a shell I would think they are ok but maybe ask one of the natural food stores in your area.WHOLE FOODS is a good one if you have one near you!

I'm sorry to say that I've never tried them with lettuce. I use them for apples, oranges, melons, and grapes with great success - never bananas or cucumbers. I have a lettuce keeper that works great and usually get bagged lettuce so it's never been an issue.

We made shredded chicken salads and each family member put what they wanted in theirs (shredded dark or light chicken, beans (refried or black), shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, tomatoes, olives, green onions, sour cream, salsa, blue cheese, or ranch dressing, etc. Basically, we all put whatever we wanted in our bowls and had a delicious meal to our liking. I used burrito sized flour tortillas and before placing ours in the pans, I put a "light" brush on both sides of our favorite olive oil and baked in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes (the bake time all depends on how crispy you like your tortillas). If you read the reviews for this product, some people provided their recipes wherein you can try. Enjoy!

INMHO the veg are all the same to me. The italian green beans and green beans hold up well in broth if you like to make soups. Tasty beef choices: smoked brisket, fajita strips, meatballs. the non-breaded chicken choices are good for topping off a lettuce salads. Check the sodium on the breaded meats if that's an issue for you. Good luck!

I put lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, etc in the bottom part. In the top container, I put cheese, a hard boiled egg, croutons, bacon bits, and ranch dressing. I leave around 6am and eat around 11:30am and I've never had a problem. This has worked fine for me. :-)

Wish I could help you, but I won't be back at my home for another month. I really wasn't worried about that because I remembered that it states that they can't be put in the microwave. I never intended them for anything but salads (and maybe something like a cold appetizer).

Hi there they taste like a tangy cucumber if that makes any sense. But just to let you know I ordered from here and none sprouted idk if the seeds were old or what it was but nothing grew if you do buy from this seller I just hope you have a different outcome than I did. Good luck!!! They're delicious in salads!

Not real good, you could wrap it up with another veggie, or tie it in a knot, when I do items like kale and other leafy items I either roll them up or tie them in knots with themselves to give it bulk, or wrap it around some other veggie like a carrot or something with more substance.

I use orange juice instead of water, and also frozen blueberries and cherries. Surprised me how tasty, and that's with kale, spinach, and the rest of the garden.

These are perfect for that! Keep the greens dry & fresh for days longer. Nearly 5 days ago I purchased two large containers of fresh blueberries. I washed them, air dry & placed in container. They are still perfect, not one soft of mushy one yet �

I love these for long slow cooking and in spaghetti. Dried they have a slightly woodsy taste and Styrofoam texture. rehydrated they are similar to canned mushhrooms. I've never tried them on a salad.

The green leafy veggies don't do the best. If you can wad them real tight they do better. Never had a problem with asparagus. It also helps to put cucumber behind the leafy greens. Hope this helps.

These are great for transporting lettuce and other greens from the market to your house. As far as storing them for time they are just adequate. Most refrigerators try to reduce moisture by pumping out air and since these are open aired, the moisture in greens goes with them. If you're only planning on a day or two they'll be fine, but if you're looking to store them for an extended time (which you really shouldn't since you're buying them fresh) they're not as good as plastic for retaining moisture. I hope this helps and I need to say that I love mine! Would order them again in a minute if I didn't have them!

Good afternoon Christine D., while this was my second purchase of this item I was unaware of a "string" issue as the reason for my second purchase was that after much use the first item just had to be replaced. All this to say, I've been very pleased with each of my purchases as I enjoy a good salad on a daily basis.

Sure! I would use peanut oil to fry them in, we used to do it all the time! Enjoy
