Overnight (fresh cut for day service) bruised Romaine lettuce
Never had this happen before in all my years and im getting to a loss.
Have always cut Romaine salad lettuce for opening service the night before so no matter where ive worked, we were ready to go ( in a downtown area w a high(ish) rise courthouse immediately down the street, plus a bunch of daytime business foot traffic) and its never ever been an issue... not a single leaf or cut...
More often than id like, I clopen, so when I come in the next morning, now my cut Romaine is getting bruised overnight w red edges.
We've held it every which way, used different knives, held it in citrus water before spinning (and quick wash/ spin, then held w no water) used the paper towel method, even went to the dastardly plastic knife... all to no avail. Anybody have any tips?
Also I only oder 2 cases a week, (if that sometimes) If I dont, I run out. If I order 2, I MIGHT have a pinch left over going into Monday when I get the delivery. I try to keep as fresh as possible with minimum order requirements or suffer higher delivery costs for a couple items.
Halp! 🤣🤦♂️ Please dont roast me lol I'm getting stressed enough over Romaine fuckin lettuce ya'll and about to turn myself into a heavy Christmas ornament in our basement lmfao any ideas would be wonderous! Thank you! 🫶
