- craftyguy 8y agoThat's a property of most (all?) lettuces, but here we are with two romaine-related instances in 5 months.
- jaggederest 8y agoInterestingly enough, bean sprouts are eaten raw, are not (thoroughly) cleaned before eating, and must be, by definition, held at an unsafe temperature to sprout. They also cause a bunch of foodborne illness. I think it's a pretty clear connection.
- selimthegrim 8y agoI blanch bean sprouts before freezing them for storage and then toss them in something I’m frying or boiling. Seems to work for me.
- VectorLock 8y agoSo you eat them not raw.
- selimthegrim 8y agoI might toss a few onto something I’m having by chance right then but I typically by them in advance of when I need them and don’t want to have them rot in the fridge
- adrianmonk 8y agoSure, but why not other types of lettuce like red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce, iceberg lettuce, or butter lettuce?
- ip26 8y agoApparently Romaine is grown in exactly two places, one for summer and one for winter.
- kencausey 8y agoI believe the word 'regions' would be more appropriate.
