I have to confess - I've always eaten the whole Romaine leaf. Never heard of removing the white rib. So much easier to use the entire leaf. PS - your new hair look is SUPER cute, Berta! Truly - looks terrific! Have a great weekend and be well! ❤️🥕❤️
You know I am just me, Jane...I didn't like the taste of the rib until recently 🙄, so I thought I'd just share what I did. I appreciate your comment. I will have to now try, again, the whole Romaine leaf. It's worth the effort now that you've pointed it out. Do have a stupendous day! Always enjoy hearing from you. 😁❤
Thank you so much, Susan. Had to get it cut and it's easier if it's straightened first. Appreciate that you noticed and made a comment. I always enjoy earing from you. Have a blessed and peace-filled day, dear friend 🥰
Thanks so much, A. I had to get it cut; it's better if it's straightened and then cut. You'll see it back to the way it was in upcoming videos. Thanks for noticing and saying something. I do appreciate that. 👍🏾
Your videos are like having a best friend, or favorite aunt (depending on your age) hang out in your kitchen with you, and share really cool ideas, dos and donts with you.
Rockin' the new hair style, Berta Jay! Gorgeous! The ribs of the romaine are my favorite part, so crunchy and moist; I never understood cutting them out. The same with broccoli; the stems (once they are peeled) are so sweet and don't have the bitter bite of the florets. And, tomatoes will absolutely freeze for cooking! When I have an overproductive tomato plant, a quick blanche to remove the peel will suffice, and them put them whole in a freezer bag. Delicious fresh tasting marinara in the dead of winter! Thanks for this lovely little video! Is anyone else having trouble with the notifications?
I never took out the vein of romaine. I eat it all. I just bought a bag of tomatoes on clearance so I think I will freeze them & use for future tomato sauce. I freeze kale & spinach then add them to smoothies or saute' them. Yummy!
Hi Berta 💜 Recently I’ve had a bunch of zucchini from my garden, so I spiraled some and froze it, I divided it then put it into sandwich baggies, so whenever I am making a stirfry, vegetable soup or a casserole, I can easily add my frozen spiraled zucchini…… perfect💪
Yes indeed! Sometimes I buy the grocery store zoodles and don't eat them in time, but they can pop in the freezer for future cooked dishes! I just hate to waste any of that fresh goodness.
Hi. Thanks for the tips. I just stumbled onto your excellent channel. I usually freeze chopped green prppers, carrots, chopped onions, chopped coriander, chillies, garlic and mushrooms. I usually put them in a ziplock bag and store in freezer. I saw your previous video on storing salad greens in the refridgerator. I am hoing to try and follow your advice in how to keep salad leaves fresh. 🍃.
Hi Ms Berta! You're rockin' a new hair style! Looks great! Excellent ideas for using the center veins of the romaine lettuce. I've never separated the leaves from the veins of the romaine but definitely will try it because of the uses you demonstrated. What a creative idea to use the chopped pieces as a topping! I've heard that we "eat" with our eyes so anything that levels up the presentation is always fun to try! While I've often used frozen tomatoes in cooking, you're right .... the frozen lettuce doesn't work well. I've had some salad makings find their way to the back of the refrigerator and either partially freeze or were forgotten about so rather than toss them, I experimented with processing the items in a blender with just enough water (have to eyeball it!) to make a slurry. I discovered the slurry composts more quickly than do the chunked up veggie scraps. I really don't like to waste anything so composting garden veggies that might have been frost-bitten or partially frozen in the refrig has been a way to utilize them. I've processed fresh spinach leaves as well but have poured the slurry into ice cube trays to freeze and add to smoothies. That's about the extent of my creativity, Ms Berta!! LOL Thanks for another video!! 😃
Thank you so much, jez770, I did not know that! I like being frugal and it looks like you do too. Again, thanks...and smile at someone you don't know and see what happen ☺
Hi, Berta Jay, I just wanted you to know how much I love your videos and how much they brighten my day. I love all your tips and tricks and recipes that you suggest… I wanted to let know I just received my first shipment of balsamic vinegar from Wild Rose. I agree with you, they are delicious. I also wanted to let you know that I used apple cider vinegar to get me through menopause hot flashes. Somehow the vinegar totally stopped the hot flashes so I could sleep at night and go to work rested the next day. Maybe this is more information then anyone would want but I have also used apple cider vinegar for kidney stones for my daughter and grand daughter and bladder infections that I have gotten. I am a firm believer in the many health benefits of apple cider vinegar and I love it so much. Thank you so much for all you do for us all ❤️🙂.
Hi Berta Jay. Your hair is gorgeous! Thank you for this video. My mom told me about the lettuce long before I really started cooking. Always right. I've never understood why people don't like the Romaine center. Your creativity with it is outstanding.
Thanks so much, Limerick502. I am wondering how those 'veins' would taste lined up like soldiers vertically on a sandwich. What do you think? I'm going to try it. I appreciate your encouragement. Have a glorious and calm day. 😊
Hi Berta, this is your German viewer. I haven't come around to do the mayo but I will make it sometime the next few days and tell you what I thought. Have a nice day and thank you so much for your work :)
Thanks so much, Karen. I did put that very same information in the Description Box below the video. Go take a peak. 😉 My real point was that freezing lettuce for salad was not recommended. 😊
Hi Berta. I have been on a Keto Diet since Feb 2022. I make an Avocado Dip. I use Avocado's, Romaine Lettuce "all of it", Kale, Celery Green onion, Tyme, Mint, Spearmint, Dill, Ginger "Home made powder", Turmeric, Himalayan pink Sea Salt, Extra Virgin Olive oil, Garlic cloves, Garlic Chives, Parsley, Sweet peppers, Pumpkin Seeds, Spinach and Leafy Greens. I freeze most of my ingredients because it's easier to do a big batch with each item, or the ones I choose. Most times I use them all. I am trying to find out how much of the nutrients are lost when they are frozen? For My Wife and myself I make enough dip for 3-4 days, it takes about 6 Avocado's. Yummy Yummy in OUR TUMMY.🥰
@@bertajay You too. We dont have Thanks Giving in Australia. Altho when I think of it with family gathered, I do suggest we go around the table and say what we are thankful for. Its a good idea.
Beautiful hair, beautiful advice from a beautiful soul. I am enjoying baby romaine lettuce in Deutschland. I have always enjoyed eating the entire romaine leaf and failed to understand the task of cutting out the veins. I wonder if these are the same people cutting the crust off of bread for sandwiches?
Thank you for the video, I swear I was going crazy seeing all over online people saying its ok to freeze lettuce, and it turning out so nasty for me. Its really true, you can freeze anything, but not lettuce.
A trick to extend iceberg lettuce is to knock its heart out. You knock the lettuce head, heart down, facing the table, and then rip it out. Iceberg will last 4 weeks that way and you can then freeze it to throw in soups (hey, it’s vitamins, why waste it?) You can use this heart by suspending it via toothpicks in a glass of water til it sprouts roots and you can replant and get yet more lettuce from it, and so on.
Nope. I wouldn’t freeze greens or eat them but they do store well in the fridge in a jar of cool water. Depending on how long it is before you use the greens, you may need to change the water out to fresher water. BTW, Berta, I recd your one week livestream notification & your one day reminder. Unfortunately I couldn’t attend. Are you saving your livestreams or editing them into episodes so those of us who can’t attend can catch some of your content? Hope so. Hope you’re well. You look lovely today; then again you always do. xx
Marirose, the Live Show should be showing up with the other videos.🤔 Evan just uploads it and it's there the same day. Here's the link for it if you can't see it yet: ruclips.net/video/Nl6sPmgJ2uY/видео.html Thanks so much for your loyalty and kindness. I have done the same thing as you with my fresh herbs like parsley and mint. Thanks for the tip. You are a gem. 💎
Good morning Berta‼️❤️have not commented in a while, this was very informative thank you. Your hair looks absolutely fabulous but then you always look beautiful💕 👩🍳 I do want you to know that I try to watch your lives but the camera moves so much I actually have bad vertigo so it sets it off so I can't watch it but I do click a thumbs up then exit or I will be dizzy and sick 🤶🤦♀️hope all is well with you 😉
Thanks so much, Tiffany. I am so sorry to hear about your vertigo. Perhaps you could just listen and NOT LOOK at the program. Enjoy having you however I can get you, Tiff. I prayed for you. 🙏🏾

You can add frozen lettuce to soups, stews, stir fries etc! Can be handy if you have too much, and it will go bad otherwise.

Kale can be frozen! Also, I freeze all kinds of lettuce for my smoothies. Freezing lettuce is actually great for that!

Glad to know that you can do this, I freeze spinach, but did not know how it would taste for smoothies
I love your hair!!! Wonderful idea to cut up the stem and top the salad for the crunch!! ❤️😎🥰

I’ve never separated lettuce stalks from the leaf. Always eaten the whole thing.

This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone not eating the stalk of lettuce! Yes, don't waste it 🍃
I don't anymore. Thanks for your support. 😊
Thank you Ms.Berta

You are such a gorgeous lady! Thank you for this informative info!!
Thank you so much, i was googling this now.
So informative, thank you!
Do you think that those frozen greens could be used in a soup? I once saw a recipe for a Chinese soup that contained lettuce leaves.
'Chinese' lettuce is thicker and doesn't disintegrate as much.
Me to, I’ve always eaten the whole Romaine leaf.
A trick to extend iceberg lettuce is to knock its heart out. You knock the lettuce head, heart down, facing the table, and then rip it out. Iceberg will last 4 weeks that way and you can then freeze it to throw in soups (hey, it’s vitamins, why waste it?)

The center stalk of the romaine is my favourite part. It's crunchy and sweet. Don't throw it out!
I freeze kale and spinach for smoothies! Not good for salad after freezing. 😮
I want to be a trooper. I subscribed!!!
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Thanks for the support, IamSquirrel. 🙂
The white part is what gives romaine the crunch! That is why i prefer romaine
Looks like Mom was right! 💚
Yep, Maggie. You know I had to try it and share the results. Thank you so much. 🥰
If you use your lettuce to cook with you could freeze lettuce, the Chinese cook with greens all the time and it is delicious cooked
Good tips !
Thank you very much very
Hi Berta Jay, do you have a recipe for your creamy Italian dressing?
Hi Berta, I always eat the veins…but then, I love kale stems, etc. too 😉
Thank you!
I freeze lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, tomatoes, to cook with.
Freezing spinach doesn't work for salads etc., but it works great in smoothies when put in frozen.
You look so healthy and beautiful. I am subscribing and learning from you ❤
Thank you🥰😊🥰
Hey Miss Berta 👋🏻 Your new hairstyle looks lovely 🥰 Hope you are doing well! All good here in Green 🌱Ohio! Blessings to you and your family ❤️

Lettuce can be cooked just like spinach, after it's been frozen.
use frozen lettuce in soup, Italian culture use it in soup
Really! That is so amazing! What soup? Do you have a recipe. I do enjoy eating Italian food 😁
❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥰🥰
Are you teaching me to eat lettuce.? You can add to cooking homlette. Food is not just taste it's nutrition too.
