How is lettuce sold?

- Whole head: Lettuce can be sold as whole heads, which typically weigh between 1 to 2 pounds. This type of lettuce is often sold in grocery stores and farmers markets. Whole head lettuce can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.

- Pre-cut: Pre-cut lettuce is lettuce that has already been chopped and packaged for convenience. It comes in various forms such as shredded, chopped, and even ready-to-eat salads. Pre-cut lettuce is often sold in plastic bags or containers and can typically be found near other fresh vegetables in grocery stores. This option may save time during meal preparation but typically has a shorter shelf life compared to whole head lettuce.
