Lettuce is a fresh leafy vegetable eaten raw in salads, sandwiches and burgers. It is a light, watery food that eases both hunger and thirst. A head weighs only 0.2.

Lettuce spoils within a few days, so it suits a cook who uses it soon. It is also a strong trap bait for rabbits, squirrels and raccoons. Lettuce comes from produce crates, grocery stands and fast food fridges, and a farm can grow it from Lettuce Seeds. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.

Eating

A head of Lettuce lowers hunger by 15 and thirst by 7. It holds 54 calories, with 10 grams of carbohydrates and 5 grams of protein. That makes it a light food that does little to hold body weight.

The thirst bonus helps early on, when clean water is short. As lettuce ages, its good effects turn negative, so it is best eaten fresh.

Compared with other greens, lettuce sits in the middle. Kale lowers hunger by 16 and holds far more calories. Cabbage lowers hunger by 24. Spinach lowers hunger by only 5.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Farming

Lettuce grows from Lettuce Seeds. A plant takes about 12 days to grow and gives 2 to 4 heads at harvest. It can be sown in February, March and April, and again from July to September. March and July are the best months to plant. Lettuce planted from October through January does poorly.

As trap bait, lettuce gives a 40 percent chance to attract a rabbit, a squirrel or a raccoon. Carrots draw rabbits and raccoons a little better, at 45 percent. Lettuce also works on squirrels.

Storage

Fresh Lettuce stays fresh for 3 days and is rotten by day 5. A fridge slows both counts. It is best eaten or used as bait soon after it is picked.

Locations

Produce crates always hold lettuce. Spiffo's kitchen and storage fridges hold it about half the time. Cafeteria and diner fridges carry it about one time in three. Grocery stands at Gigamart and grocery stores hold it one time in four. Burger kitchen fridges are also good. Mexican, Italian and restaurant fridges, produce storage rooms and house fridges turn it up now and then.
