Lettuce is a nutritious vegetable. Lettuce tastes crisp and is deeply loved by everyone. There are many ways to make lettuce. Generally, it is made into shredded lettuce or cold shredded lettuce. It's delicious no matter how you cook it.

Spinach, broccoli and beans that we usually eat will be blanched before eating. Because these vegetables contain some oxalic acid, which will not be absorbed by the human body, we will remove the oxalic acid from these vegetables by blanching, and some vegetables will be more delicious after blanching. So many people think that lettuce should also be blanched.

Matters needing attention

In fact, lettuce should not be blanched, because lettuce itself is a vegetable that can be eaten directly raw, and the nutrients in lettuce are basically water-soluble and contain little oxalic acid. Blanching will lead to the loss of more nutrients and affect the taste of lettuce. Many people have made a mistake. No wonder lettuce doesn't taste crisp.

Therefore, lettuce usually used for frying does not need to be blanched. If you must blanch, I suggest you make a cold salad, and the blanching time must be controlled well, otherwise it will cause nutrient loss and it will not be crisp to eat. Cold shredded lettuce can be blanched or not. If you blanch, it must not exceed 1 minute, and it should be cooled immediately, otherwise it will not be crisp.
