I was wondering if someone could enlighten me on why iceberg and Romaine lettuce is so popular. I grewup on iceberg but once I moved out and learned that it's basically water and fiber with no nutrients I started getting romaine. Romaine has a lot of bitter parts, practically the whole center vein so I endup throwing out probably more then I eat, it's also fairly expensive. I was kinda dodging other lettuce because I wasn't aware of salad spinners which are wonderful by the way! Once I got one of those I started buying green leaf lettuce and I just can't for the life of me figure out why this one isn't THEE lettuce that's the most popular. It's more nutritional then the other two and for what I consider edible parts you get more for your buck. So if anyone knows please let me know. Also are there more nutritional lettuces out there? I don't like whatever that peppery one is so that's out for me lol

Hi. I'm looking for recommendations for a lettuce or other salad green that will grow well in places like Florida, and the Caribbean, preferably year round.

Thanks in advance for any help / ideas you can provide.

Why do people eat lettuce? It’s got very little nutritional value and even less taste. Also hard to pick up a bunch with a fork and gracefully place in your mouth. Sauces don’t cling on easily unless you overload it which becomes unhealthy. The best way I can think of to describe the lettuce experience is “chewing wetness”.

What is the difference between the taste of Romaine and iceberg lettuce? Also is American lettuce more tasteless the other lettuce around the world? My gf seems to think so.

I despise people who like spinach more than Romaine hearts. I was named after lettuce and I am proud to wear it. If anyone wants to argue this with me, I am more than happy to oblige.
