I used to keep celery in water, but found that cutting off the ends and just wrapping it in aluminum foil keeps it fresh for ages. I don't wash it first. I think cauliflower and broccoli do well cut and put into baggies. For lettuce, I wash the leaves in really cold water, then lay them out single layer in between paper towels. Then I roll it all up to absorb as much water as possible, take the leaves out of the towels, put them in a ziploc and push out as much air as possible. It can keep for over a week that way for me. I have heard about keeping the leaves in the paper towels, so I think I am going to try that way too. Grapes and cherries I just wash and keep in a bowl in the frige. If I get berries, I do not wash them until ready to eat and just leave them in their container until I use them. I always keep oranges and apples in the frige because we like to eat those cold and I feel the apples stay good much longer that way and stay crispy.
