ABSTRACT:
Heads of lettuce are mechanically torn into bite size portions. Each head of lettuce is washed, the outer leaves and core removed, and the cleaned heads are introduced one at a time into a rotating cylindrical basket. The basket upwardly opens and has holes formed in a sidewall thereof of a size to admit torn bite size pieces of lettuce therethrough. The basket rotates about a vertical axis at a speed that engages and tears the heads of lettuce into the bite size pieces. A catching bowl is placed concentrically about the basket and in spaced relationship thereto. The bowl receives the torn lettuce that is thrown through the wall of the rotating basket.
