Seasonal Summer Fruits & Veggies
The darker the green, the more nutrients it has…right? Not in the case of butter lettuce! This summer veggie is lettuce with a twist. Butter lettuce has a sweet, almost buttery taste and contains high amounts of vitamin A and C — making it a delectable, yet healthy summer snack! Watch out for wilted lettuce leaves and keep live lettuce in the original container. Rinse before eating and keep stored in the fridge.
