About Green lettuce

Green lettuce refers to green-leaved lettuce, without specifying a variety. The leaves are commonly eaten raw in salads or used as a leafy component in other foods. The name does not establish a particular cultivar or leaf shape.

Fresh lettuce leaves are generally crisp and tender, with a mild flavour, although these qualities vary with variety, freshness, and storage. The record does not say whether the lettuce is whole, cut, or otherwise prepared, distinctions that can affect its condition.
