Selected User Reviews For Organic Red Leaf Lettuce, One Head
The others weren't quite as fresh as they'd been in previous deliveries, but the red leaf stood out. It was a large, crisp, fresh, and delicious head of cauliflower! For years, my go-to salad consisted of red leaf lettuce, spinach, red/purple cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and green or red onion- Collard greens have recently been added to the mix. kale. I'll throw in some broccoli and cauliflower if I have any on hand. In the refrigerator, I like to keep a large bowl of salad ready to serve. br>Here are a few pointers. br>If you start with the basics and layer them on top of each other, you'll be fine. red cabbage, shredded carrots, and greens- It's not necessary to toss the salad to mix it. I usually do a layer of each and then repeat until I've used up everything I've cleaned, cut, or torn up. Then, when you take a serving, you get a little bit of everything, even as the salad in the bowl is being consumed. br>I place the sliced mushrooms on top of the salad, completely covering it, and top with chopped green onion. br>If there are no green onions or I'm using red onion instead, I usually don't put them in the bowl and instead add them to each serving. br>One of the reasons for this is that I also feed salad to my two small dogs, who are allergic to onions. With green onion sprinkled on top, it's simple to keep it out of theirs. br>Hold tomatoes and other "add-ons" in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Because they have an acidic effect on the greens, they are not included in the bowl. br> I've also discovered that if I use a GLASS bowl and seal it on top with stretch plastic wrap that adheres to the bowl, I can make a large bowl and keep it fresh and nice for almost a week. I'm not sure why, but it keeps better in the glass bowl than in a tupperware or plastic container. I believe it's because the glass bowl cools down as well, keeping the vegetables even cooler.
THE LEAVES WERE THICK, CLEAN, CRISP, AND FRESH. HYDROPONICS COME TO MIND. THESE MAY BE SOLD ON AMAZON AGAIN. br>I WAS HESITANT AT FIRST, BUT THE REPLACEMENT WAS DISAPPOINTING, WITH DIRTY, WILTED, AND THIN LEAVES. THEY WERE INVESTIGATED WITH INSECTS OR HAD EXTREMELY HIGH MUD CONCENTRATIONS. I THREW AROUND 80% OF THE OUTER LEAVES OR ASK FOR A REFUND.
Delivered lettuce that would have been better suited to the dumpster. Brown and wilted, and well past the 'Fresh' stage. 'br>br>Edited 3/1/2020 to add: Amazon promptly refunded my lettuce purchase price, which I appreciate. So I gave it another shot this time with an order. I'm pleased to report that I have received a large crisp/tender green/red head. 'Fresh' is a good word to describe it.
It was also crawling with green bugs that, despite the filth, seemed to be alive.
This is one of my favorite salad ingredients, and it's also great for the guinea pigs. It lasts for about a week, which is just long enough for the guinea pigs to eat before it's time to order more.
When you can't leave the house, it's fantastic to be able to get organic produce in a pinch.
It was SPECTACULAR the first two times I purchased it - firm and fresh, with large leaves and a large head - $2 is well spent. I looked forward to ordering these on a weekly basis because they were so ridiculously good. br>br>The following orders were not acceptable: Small heads, sparse, limp, wilty, some leaves with rust, few leaves in neither order (two heads per order as usual) lasted three days - DISAPPOINTING IN THE MAXIMUM EXTENT.
First and foremost, it was filthy, and I had to scrub it for several minutes. It was so bitter that it lingered in my mouth for more than 10 minutes after I finished eating it. It also appeared to be quite old. It had a little brown water on it, for sure. I'm not sure why I assumed that washing spoiled lettuce would make it edible again. It was not the case. The quality of this shite was abysmal.
