Lettuce is one of the most widely used and recognized vegetables in the world, and it is the most popular cold vegetable sold in the United States. We grow three types of lettuce: romaine, butterhead, and loose-leaf lettuce.

To Store:

Wash the lettuce in cold water. Store in a damp towel in the fridge either alone or in an air-tight container, keeping the towel slightly damp. Romaine stores well for 10 days, while butterhead and loose-leaf lettuce, with more delicate leaves, will store well for around 7 days.

Preparation:

Lettuce is best prepared raw, washed and spun in a salad spinner or patted dry with a towel. If the leaf is dry, the dressing will stick better! Lettuce makes a great addition to sandwiches, used instead of bread and, of course, as the base to any type of salad you can dream up!
