Organic Living Butter Lettuce

In my family's last visit to Costco, we brought home this Organic Living Butter lettuce out of curiosity about the roots. We enjoyed how it came in a bowl shape as it would be easier to eat as a taco shell.

We made filling out of beans, quinoa, onions and green peas (cooked with a little bit of olive oil and Mexican taco spice).

"What’s the benefit of buying living lettuce? With its roots still intact, nutrients continue to supply nourishment leading fresh, crisp leaves than can last for over 18 days!"

Since this is grown in San Diego, I feel the carbon footprint is less since it is within California.
