Pro Tip: Harvest celtuce when the stem is thick and firm but before it becomes woody or the plant starts to bolt (flower). For the crispest, sweetest stems, harvest in the morning. Peel the tough outer skin before slicing—the inner flesh should be pale green and crunchy. Don't discard the leaves; young leaves make excellent additions to salads!
