I bought a head of "Live" Butter (bib) lettuce at Sprouts Market the other day. Normally I would have been happy with the standard fare, but this was all they had at the time.
I guess the thinking is that by leaving the roots attached, it retains its freshness longer. At $2.99, it had better be good!
Ever tried this? Just curious if you think $3 is a bit steep for a smallish head of lettuce, even if it is substantially fresher.
Lettuce? I don't get it.
Hippies like the life-force still in their food. When I grew lettuce, would deliver to hippy friends and they were far more happy to see the roots still on than the lettuce itself. Serve at room temp. Chilled luttuce has little flavor.
I have spoken.

Chilled lettuce has little flavor. Ahhhhhh. This explains a lot.
I have tried it, back in AZ and have been pretty happy with the results.
