I used to buy the prewashed iceburg lettuce in the bags that came with the carrots and cabbage to make salads with, but recently switched to using romaine lettuce. Not only does the romaine costs about the same, it gets me much fuller than iceburg lettuce and it tastes better in my opinion. That is all :beer:

iceburg lettuce is crap, it has no nutritional value whatsoever. Romaine is much better for you

Start dropping some baby spinach in there and really get some nutrition.

I thought it was common knowledge romaine tastes better than iceburg. Romaine usually cost more than iceberg.
 

Iceburg is good if you really want to taste JUST the dressing. That said, I like romaine a WHOLE lot more.

lol I'm the only one that strongly prefers iceberg over romaine... I like the refreshing and cool "water-filled" taste of iceberg. Romaine is too full of leafy flavors for me. It's also much drier. I always feel like I'm chewing on crunchy toilet paper when I eat romaine. But, I guess that's just me.

We just started getting more romaine instead of iceburg also. It makes a much better salad.:thumbsup:

People shouldnt buy the precut salads. My sister does that but I told her to stop. Those are soaked in Chlorine i believe, or some other chemical - i forgot. Anyways they aren't healthy.


I buy Romaine too sometimes, but i find it bitter sometimes. Try the Green lettuce if you prefer something different.
