Lettuce

• Used as the base for fresh, healthy salads, combining well with other vegetables, fruits, nuts, and dressings.
• Added to sandwiches and burgers for a crisp texture and refreshing flavor.
• Wrapped around fillings like grilled meats, tofu, or rice for low-carb lettuce wraps.
• Layered in tacos, burritos, or spring rolls to add crunch and balance heavier ingredients.
• Garnished on platters or served as a bed for appetizers like shrimp cocktail or stuffed mushrooms.

• Low in calories and high in water content, making it a hydrating and weight-friendly ingredient.
• Rich in vitamins A and K, which support eye health and bone strength.
• Contains dietary fiber that aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness.
• Offers a mild, crisp texture that enhances salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
• Naturally gluten-free and suitable for a variety of diets, including keto, vegan, and paleo.

To keep lettuce fresh, store it in the refrigerator in a perforated plastic bag or wrapped in a damp paper towel inside an airtight container. Avoid washing until ready to use, as excess moisture can cause it to spoil faster. Keep it in the crisper drawer for optimal humidity control, and consume within 5-7 days for the best flavor and texture.
