For the test, I made a mix of my two home grown varieties and bought some organic lettuce from the grocery store. The three test groups consisted of a) Wild Harvest Organic spring mix lettuce, b) a mixture of the purchased lettuce and my lettuce, and c) my lettuce only.
*For the mixture (group b), I picked out only certain varieties of lettuce from the spring mix and mixed them with my two varieties*
The 'competition'.
Apparently, Wild Harvest needs to work on the flavor of their lettuce. It did not get great reviews.
The Wild Harvest lettuce group was described as: bitter, salty, and just plain not the best.
The mixture of both was actually the favorite group. I can't say whether or not this was because of my lettuce or because of the varieties I picked out of the Wild Harvest lettuce.
My lettuce was the second favorite. This is more than satisfying for me. The butterhead variety was the favorite among the two I grew, and both were tasty. I was assured that positively no 'fishy' flavor was detected. FANTASTIC! (I would have been happy even if my lettuce had not ranked highly, just as long as it wasn't deemed *funky* in any way.)
A big THANK YOU to all who participated in the lettuce tasting study!!
*all faces have been conceiled to protect the identities of participants in the event of backlash from the Wild Harvest lettuce people after their poor reviews*
HA! I crack myself up sometimes. ;)
