A head of lettuce easily lasts 2 weeks in a fridge; loose or chopped lettuce lasts maybe half as long. Fruit last in the fruit basket on my counter, not even the fridge, for two weeks at least. Grapes I put in the fridge, and they last for weeks before they start to raisin up.
What doesn't last for two weeks in a fridge?
- rglullis 4y agoLike I said: food in the US is designed for longevity, not for flavor or general quality. Organic stuff and local produce are not like that. They don't last as long. I for one can not eat lettuce that has been on the fridge for more than 3 days.

An organic head of lettuce easily lasts a week or more in the fridge. Anyway, the extent to which produce has been "designed" is greatly overstated. Two hundred years ago people used to store apples in barrels for weeks if not months.

I for one can not eat lettuce that has been on the fridge for more than 3 days. I'm not in the US, I buy organic and local produce at a farmers market. They usually last two weeks in the fridge. If they are lasting only three days for you, maybe you are buying produce that is already over a week old.
- Zababa 4y agoAt least here in France, fresh meat and fish won't last 2 weeks. Usually 5 days at most, more often 3/4 days. Some fruits that are bought when they're very ripe won't last long too. Bread of course (technically it will last a long time, but after a day or two the texture is not as good).
