Culinary Tips
- Generally lettuce is eaten raw, consider removing any browned, slimy, or wilted leaves. For all lettuce types, try to thoroughly wash and dry the leaves to remove any dirt or lingering insects.
- In addition to their most common use in salads, you can also braise, steam, sauté & even grill certain lettuce varieties. Try halving a head of radicchio or romaine lengthwise, and brush on some extra virgin olive oil, and grill until they soften and just begin to brown
