Heads of Iceberg Lettuce should be uniform in size, shape and color. They should be compact, medium-firm and springy to the touch with a light green color. Avoid lettuce with wilted or discolored outer leaves.
For maximum shelf life and freshness, store lettuce in 32-36 degree F refrigeration. Keep lettuce away from drafts to prevent dehydration. Store lettuce away from ethylene- producing fruits and ripening rooms. Follow good rotation practices; first shipments received should be used or displayed first.
