Frizee Lettuce is the “junior” member of the Lettuce family, and an excellent alternative if Green Leaf lettuce or Arugula isn’t available. As its name suggests, frisée is a curly lettuce whose long tender leaves are joined to a short whitish stem which somewhat resembles the base of the fennel plant. There are many uses for Frizee lettuce, including salads, some ethnic cuisine, and garnishes.

Storage
– If you plan to keep the lettuce for a few days, first rinse it in cold water and shake it before putting it into the vegetable crisper, in a fairly large open bag or wrapped in a damp cloth.
– The tightly closed packaging does not allow the lettuce to breathe and will make it rot. Be sure that air can circulate around the leaves.
– Frisée lettuce is fragile and will not tolerate freezing. Do not dress it until just before serving, since vinegar will make it wilt.
Handling
– Do not drop; frisée lettuce is susceptible to bruising.
– Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.
– Avoid placing the case or raw product on counter tops to help prevent the potential for cross contamination.
Preparation
– Prep only enough lettuce for immediate use. Try not to use a prepared product from the previous day.
– Always use sharp knives to prep. Cutting with dull knives cause excessive cell damage and hasten browning.
– Remove wilted, damaged, bruised or discolored leaves and discard before washing.
– Store prepared product in the refrigerator.
