Why is my lettuce bitter? discussion in 'vegetables' started by writerkerrie, jul 23, 2013. i did however, tasted some bitter lettuce, not much, but i can taste it. i will have to relate the information to my mom so she can water them more. hydroponic lettuce and herbs. bitter gourd: my favorite vegetable. my lettuce is always bitter..
