    In the case of the lettuce parasites, cooking does render them safe.

    I wasn’t joking, kilt lettuce with potato cubes fried in the bacon fat and crumbles of crispy bacon is amazing.

    You can also stirfry it with some garlic, and ginger, salt, and sugar, just make sure you get the oil super hot before you add the lettuce, cook for like 30 seconds, then throw in cornstarch slurry and remove from heat. Maybe fry it with some blanched carrots, bell pepper, w/e.

    Theres also soup.

      Yeah, I’m not cooking lettuce. I’ll just grow my own lettuce for salad and collard greens for cooking.

        You don’t know what you’re missing, cooked lettuce has been a thing in appalachia for ages, and literally the only way lettuce is prepared in China.
