Press Release Body: Hollandia Produce, the grower and shipper of the Live Gourmet
family of living lettuceshas launched a streaming video with simple tips on how you
can use living lettuce to enhance your cooking. The video titled "Hydroponic Butter
Lettuce 101" is on the Live Gourmet website at
http://www.livegourmet.com/guestchefkitchen.html.

Presented by Dani Spies, the video is a rich informational resource that answers
many frequently asked questions about hydroponically grown butter lettuce. Dani
shares her intimate knowledge of the benefits of cooking with natural ingredients
while discussing the "101" basics of butter lettuce. Her advice includes tips on
selection criteria, care and handling, health benefits, consumption and more:

. When choosing your living lettuce, look for rich green leaves. You can also look
at upper right-hand side of label for the "enjoy by" date that's there to help
promote freshness.
Living lettuce is mild and sweet with a buttery texture that almost melts in your
mouth.

. A great addition to any diet, butter lettuce is packed Vitamin A, Vitamin K, and
like all leafy green veggies, is extremely cleansing and detoxifying.

. Butter lettuce is really hearty and pairs up with a lot of different ingredients.
Try using it in lettuce wraps as a low-carb substitute for traditional sandwiches.

. The "mini-greenhouse" packaging protects leaves still attached to the root.
