Freshly harvested from local farms in British Columbia, Lettuce Stem (also known as Celtuce or Stem Lettuce) is a unique vegetable prized for its crisp, juicy stem and tender green leaves.
Unlike ordinary lettuce, the thick stem offers a refreshing crunch similar to a blend of asparagus and cucumber, with a mild sweetness and delicate nutty flavor. The leaves can be stir-fried, added to soups, or enjoyed as fresh greens, while the stem is perfect for stir-fries, salads, pickles, and hot pots.
