Lettuce Mild in flavour, it has been described over the centuries as a cooling counterbalance to other ingredients in a salad The lettuce that we see today actually started out as a weed around the Mediterranean basin. Served in dishes for more than 4500 years, lettuce has certainly made its mark in history - as seen from tomb paintings in Egypt to the depiction of many different varieties in ancient Greek relics. It was popular in Roman times.
