The inner leaves of a head of lettuce, for example, head or romaine lettuce, are called lettuce hearts. The fine inner leaves are usually more tender and crunchy than the outer leaves.

The fine interior of the head of lettuce, the so-called hearts, have become increasingly popular in recent years. That is why there are now special breeds.

Outdoor salads are available from mid-May, often well into October. The annual cycle of outdoor goods is closed with deliveries from October to April with goods from Spain.

Depending on the variety, lettuce tastes mild and tender or strong and spicy.

Lettuce hearts can be used just like any other lettuce. As a starter, main course or side dish. A fine, fruity vinaigrette or a light dressing with lemon, mild oil and herbs such as chervil or tarragon go well with the tender leaves. A famous recipe with romaine lettuce is Caesar Salad.

The general rule is: use lettuce as soon as possible after you buy it, as the leaves quickly wilt. Lettuce hearts can be stored in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator for a few days. To do this, put the lettuce hearts in a freezer bag and make holes in it. Leaves that have already been washed and trimmed stay crisp in a plastic container, packed airtight, for a few days. It is important to let the lettuce drain well beforehand or to dry it in a salad spinner.

Stored properly, lettuce hearts will keep for about 3-4 days.
