Lettuce is thought to have been first grown as a wild variety in Asia. From there, lettuce could be found in the palaces of noble Persian kings and queens and throughout the wealthy Roman empire. It was also eaten by peasants and nobles during feudalism. Interestingly, lettuce has been used as a cooling agent for fevers and inflammation.

Use lettuce as the base for an "everything but the kitchen sink" salad by adding all your veggies, nuts, cheeses, and dried fruits and bring it for lunch or have it as a dinner side or main.
