lettuce

Lettuce is a type of green vegetable that's often eaten raw or cooked.

You probably already know what lettuce looks like - it's the leafy green stuff on top of salads or wrapped around burgers. But did you know it comes in different varieties, like romaine, iceberg, and butter lettuce? Some people love the crunch of fresh lettuce in a salad, while others prefer it wilted as a side dish. In either case, it's usually served at room temperature to bring out its natural sweetness.
