Last time I checked (it's been a while since I had a salad), lettuce already doesn't have too much of a taste. I'd be surprised if they managed to mess that up.

- eonw 10y agois that the outcome of nature or selective breeding?
- maxerickson 10y agoIt really depends on the lettuce. Iceburg seems to be intentionally useless. Romaine starts to have a little flavor. Leaf lettuces have a wide range of flavors.
- slyn 10y agoIceberg is a texture, not a taste per se. Used in combination with other greens and veggies it has a place.
- dekhn 10y agoMoving to California recalibrated my understanding of lettuce/salad greens. Not sure if you meant just lettuce, but in California a typical salad has little to no lettuce, and instead: mizuna, arugula, radicchio. What lettuce is does have is Romaine and butter lettuce, not iceberg. The result is a very flavorful salad- intensely bitter with much less crunch.
