	Lettuce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lettuce is a temperate annual or biennial plant most often grown as a leaf vegetable.
		Lettuce is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera - see list of Lepidoptera which feed on Lettuces.

	Romaine Lettuce - Cos Lettuce - Cooking Tips and Techniques
		Romaine is the American term for this long leaved lettuce, also called cos or cos lettuce (mainly with British-speaking peoples) because it is said to have originated on the Greek island of Cos (Kos), off the coast of Turkey in the Aegean Sea (also the birthplace of the physician Hippocrates).
		Romaine is a member of the daisy family Compositae which, although the second largest family of flowering plants, contributes only a few food plants (including also chicory, endive, escarole and dandelion).
		It is a cultivar of the common lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and is distinguished by an elongated head; dark green, long, narrow, crisp, stiff leaves and a coarse texture, with a distinctive rib almost to the tip of the leaf.

	Lettuce Production Guidelines for Hawaii
		Lettuce can also be grown under plastic and organic mulch culture which may result in improved fertilizer and water use efficiency and in improved weed control.
		Advantages of transplanting lettuce compared to direct seeding include less seed required, less bird damage, easier weed control, and higher water, land, and fertilizer use efficiency because the plants are in the field for a shorter period of time.
		Two common types of lettuce field harvest operations include the "naked pack" system, in which lettuce is packed with the wrapper leaves alone, and the "hand-cut, film-wrap system." Heads are cut at the soil surface with a long knife, leaving as many of the wrapper leaves uninjured as possible.
