Always have to soak Dominican lettuce in salt water to get rid of any bugs. Just not for too long as then you'd get rid of all the nutrients. The scary thing is, I'm pretty sure it was still alive. I deposited it out on my patio and it has since disappeared. Probably crawling back into my apartment as I write this. I like when there is American lettuce. Granted, when you get lettuce from a farmer's market at home or something it may have bugs and such in it...And here the lettuce is probably safer anyways. Less chemicals from pesticides, fertilizers, and contaminants from the plastic it's stored in...but not having bugs in the pre-cut and pre-washed salad is nice.
Like the Bolthouse carrots. Homey and some-although-probably-not-well-enforced-FDA-standards!
