It is better to wash them before eating, even if they come pre-packed. Soil, grit, and handling residues can remain between the leaves.
After washing and drying well, store them in a container or fridge bag with a paper towel. Too much moisture makes the leaves soften and spoil faster.
They can be frozen, but the texture usually breaks down after thawing. They are better used in smoothies, soups, or cooked dishes rather than salads once frozen.
Light cooking does not ruin them, but some heat-sensitive vitamins may decrease. Eating them raw keeps their crisp texture, while brief cooking can make them easier to use in warm dishes.
Not usually for long, because they are a very light vegetable. Pairing them with foods like eggs, yogurt, cheese, beans, or olive oil makes a meal more satisfying.
