LETTUCE

n. leafy garden vegetable used in salads

This article is about the plant. For the Tokyo Mew Mew character, see Lettuce Midorikawa. Lettuce is a temperate annual or biennial plant most often grown as a leaf vegetable. In some countries, it is typically eaten cold and raw, in salads, hamburgers, tacos, and many other dishes. In some places, including China, lettuce is typically eaten cooked and use of the stem is as important as use of the leaf. Both the English name and the Latin name of the genus are derived from lactis, the Latin word for “milk”, referring to the plant’s milky juice.
