Lettuce is a herbaceous plant in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). It has light green leaves and is slightly wavy. It can be eaten fresh or used in various dishes. Iceberg lettuce is rich in many vitamins and nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, potassium, which may help fight free radicals, improve vision, and may help prevent heart and blood vessel disease.
Purchasing: To see if the lettuce is fresh and crisp, choose a head with green leaves that look fresh, with no bruises, and the leaves are still attached to the base tightly. Don’t forget to turn over and check the cut on the stem to make sure it is still fresh.
How to wash: Rinse thoroughly to remove any dirt that may be stuck in the leaf crevices. Soak in water mixed with baking soda in a ratio of 10:1 for about 10 minutes. Rinse with running water for 2 minutes to remove the astringent taste. Then, pour cold water over the lettuce to make it crispier. Pat dry or place in a vegetable salad basket before eating.
