To provide a package which is comprised of a packaging container storing fruit and vegetables including lettuce, and which achieves inhibition of generation of both browning and malodor, and further inhibits an increase in a number of viable cells, for a long time from packaging time of the lettuce, by controlling a moisture content of the lettuce to be a specific amount from a viewpoint of affecting freshness of the lettuce by the moisture content, and thus has excellent freshness retaining function for the fruit and vegetables.SOLUTION: A package is comprised of a packaging container provided with polymeric film and storing fruit and vegetables including lettuce, and a moisture content of the lettuce is 20% or more but less than 45% when stored.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】包装容器内にレタスを含む青果物を収納してなる包装体に関して、レタスの鮮度に与える水分量の影響という観点からその水分量を特定量に制御することによって、当該ダイコンの包装時から長時間、異臭と褐変の発生の抑制の両立、更には生菌数の増加も抑制することができる青果物の鮮度保持機能に優れた包装体を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】高分子フィルムを含んでなる包装容器内にダイコンを含む青果物を収納してなり、前記ダイコンの収納時の水分量が２０％以上４５％未満である、包装体。【選択図】 なし
