Lettuce
530020
Lettuce is the cornerstone of the cold section, selected by Le Delas for the tenderness of its leaves and the sweetness of its core. A timeless classic, it is characterised by broad, supple leaves of a vibrant green. Its delicate texture and neutral flavour profile make it the ideal base for a multitude of dressings, without ever overpowering the ingredients it accompanies.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Bistronomy and accompaniments: It is the perfect garnish to accompany a cut of meat or a traditional quiche. Its flexibility also makes it ideal for creating vegetable wraps or original vegetable ballotines.
► Wellness cuisine: Very low in calories and high in water content, it is a popular choice for ‘healthy' menus or as a light base for spring starters paired with fresh herbs.
► Preparation: To preserve its delicate texture, it is advisable to wash it in very cold water without leaving it to soak for too long. It is essential to spin-dry by hand or at a moderate speed to avoid breaking the leaf fibres and to preserve their glossy appearance.
► Storage: A delicate product to be stored in a positive-temperature cold room. To maintain optimal moisture levels, it is recommended to keep it in its original packaging or under a damp cloth to prevent the edges of the leaves from oxidising prematurely.
