Search Results - Lettuce

Type in a word or phrase to search:

The Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is a temperate annual or biennial plant of the daisy family Asteraceae. It is most often grown as a leaf vegetable. In many countries, it is typically eaten cold and raw, in salads, hamburgers, tacos, and many other dishes. In some places, including China, lettuce is typically eaten cooked and use of the stem is as important as use of the leaf. Both the English name and the Latin name of the genus are ultimately derived from lac, the Latin word for “milk”,[2] referring to the plant’s milky juice. Mild in flavour, it has been described over the centuries as a cooling counterbalance to other ingredients in a salad.[3] However it has been humorously described by filmmaker John Waters in his humorous essay, 100 Things I Hate. He refers to iceberg lettuce as "the polyester of greens".[4]

The lettuce plant has a short stem initially (a rosette growth habit), but when it blooms the stem lengthens and branches, and it produces many flower heads that look like those of dandelions, but smaller. This is called bolting. When grown to eat, lettuce is harvested before it bolts. Lettuce is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera.

There are six commonly recognised Cultivar Groups of lettuce which are ordered here by head formation and leaf structure; there are hundreds of cultivars of lettuce selected for leaf shape and colour, as well as extended field and shelf life, within each of these Cultivar Groups

Some lettuces (especially iceberg) have been specifically bred to remove the bitterness from their leaves. These lettuces have a high water content with very little nutrient value.[citation needed] The more bitter lettuces and the ones with pigmented leaves contain antioxidants.[citation needed]

1. Vegetables Have To Be Boring
July 14, 2008

Eat your veggies - especially your lettuce. But don't confine yourself to iceberg lettuce or salads! Darker greens have about the same number of calories and carbs -very low! - but pack a lot more punch in the vitamins and other nutrient categories.

June 23, 2008

Picture this if you will. Sunset, the witching hour. A back yard somewhere in Quebec, not far from Montreal. A mass of greenery, could be deepest Vermont. Fresh, not a hint of muggy. Cool, clean, vibrant. The light is magic, Tuscan almost. A simple meal. Mediterranean, almost. Demi salade niçoise. Lettuce, cucumber, white tuna, olive oil. No black olives, no anchovies, no tomatoes. Didn’t fancy hitting the market today. Croutons, because yesterday’s baguette was going stale. A drop of Portuguese rosé, a gulp of Canadian beer. Eat your heart out, Paul Bocuse. No backdrop of pa... (read more)

6. Help The Small Farmer
May 27, 2008

Giant subsidized farms have destroyed the small farm. These giant farms operate at a loss and only survive by the billions given to them as welfare payments. That is the reason they can sell a head of lettuce for one dollar when it costs them to two to produce. This unfair farming practice has closed down over five hundred thousand small farms that can’t compete against government handouts. The five acre farm is self contained it does not need government assistance to survive. It understands what it has to grow in order to survive and does it in a way that is profitable.

Providing nutrition meals for your family is important, but the cost of the groceries it takes to prepare them can certainly affect what you are able to do.

If you only need ½ a head of lettuce then plan another meal to use the rest of it so it doesn’t end up in the trash.
