I don't know when the last time that I have bought bagged lettuce. It just seems too dried out and tasteless to me, plus the lettuce turns brown if it isn’t used immediately.
What's for supper?

Since I moved to a rural area, I drive 50 miles round trip every week to shop for produce rather than settle for that nasty bagged stuff. The bagged Spring Mix looks fresh, but once you get it wet it mats together like toilet paper.
This is the Artisan lettuce I like:
A variety pak of four small heads in each clamshell. Each week brings a different assortment. Some are tight green heads, some are loose purple large-lobbed leaves like oak leaves, some are almost ferns like aquarium plants, etc. (They look hydroponic, but are field grown.) I used to get them at Walmart and Kroger, but they stopped carrying them. ALDI now has them. As I mentioned before, I mix them all together with a regular lettuce like romaine or red leaf. I figure the different varieties gotta provide a broader range of nutrients.

That’s a pretty good analogy.
Eating the pre-packaged bagged lettuce always made me feel like one those koala bears or some other critter chewing on the last sad tasteless leaf on the tree. My husband would never eat any of the bagged lettuces.
