Lettuce

Lettuce has been a part of the human diet for centuries. The first recorded use of lettuce dates back to the Ancient Egyptians who grew the crop for both food and medicinal purposes. The Ancient Greeks and Romans also cultivated lettuce and used it in a variety of dishes.

Lettuce was introduced to the New World by the Spanish and quickly became a staple in the diets of Native Americans. The leaves of the lettuce plant were often used in salads and the roots were cooked and eaten as a vegetable.

Today, lettuce is a common ingredient in a variety of recipes. It can be used in salads, sandwiches, wraps, and even as a pizza topping. There are hundreds of different lettuce varieties to choose from, so there’s sure to be a type of lettuce that everyone will enjoy.
