When selecting lettuce, choose heads that feel firm and heavy for their size. The leaves should be crisp, bright, and free of blemishes or browning edges. Look for a vibrant green color, avoiding any that look wilted or dull. Gently press the leaves; they should feel firm, not soft or mushy. For leafy varieties like romaine or butter lettuce, check that the leaves are tightly packed. Always smell the lettuce – fresh lettuce should have a clean, mild scent. Avoid any with a sour or unpleasant odor.
