Lettuce is a very popular vegetable that is rich in vitamins A and K, as well as folate and iron, so it promotes healthy blood formation and supports the immune system. Its low calorie content makes it an excellent choice for dieters, while its high water content hydrates the body. Lettuce is also rich in antioxidants, which help protect against free radicals, reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases.

How to choose a lettuce salad?

Look for firm, thick-headed lettuces with fresh, bright green leaves that are free from browning or softening. The condition of the outer leaves is often a reflection of the inner quality, so avoid damaged or wilted leaves.

What time of year should you buy lettuce?

Although it is now available in shops all year round, the season for lettuce runs from spring to autumn, when it is at its freshest and tastiest. Locally grown lettuces are particularly recommended at this time.

How to store lettuce?

The lettuce should be stored in the refrigerator, preferably in an open plastic bag or wrapped in a damp tea towel to keep it fresh. It is important not to store in damp conditions as this can promote spoilage.

What can you make with lettuce?

Lettuce is extremely versatile; it’s perfect as a salad ingredient, but can also be added to sandwiches and wraps for a crunchy texture. Sautéed on the barbecue or quickly steamed for a special side dish, while it can also be used as a hidden vegetable in smoothies to boost your daily vegetable intake.
