How to peel lettuce?

The skin of lettuce can generally be peeled off with a paring knife.

Take a good peeling knife, put the thinner side of lettuce up and the thicker side down, and then scrape it from bottom to top with the peeling knife until the lettuce skin is completely peeled off. When peeling lettuce, just peel it until there are no thick white stems. You can pinch it with your nails after peeling. If you can squeeze it in easily, it means you don't need to peel it again.

Place the cross section of each piece on the chopping board and hold the lettuce pieces with your hands. Children who have no strength can hold it with tools such as forks, and then cut off the skin piece by piece and circle by circle with a knife.
