EXTEND YOUR LETTUCE LIFE

When I was young and stupid, the first think I did was take my fingers and rip the heart of the lettuce out. It was easy. It came out in one quick pull. Then I could cut or rip what I want.

Man was I wrong. NEVER EVER remove the heart from the lettuce. Always keep it in tack. Your lettuce will last twice as long if that heart remains in tact.

If you don't believe me, try it out. Get two heads of lettuce and do the test.

By the way, has anyone ever proven that ripping lettuce with your hands is better than cutting lettuce. I never understood that tip. Maybe someone could explain that to me. If it makes sense, I will post the info right here so everyone can enjoy.
