We all know how time consuming it can be cutting vegetables, but this hack might make things a little easier.

It’s happened again- TikTok has come to our rescue once more with a handy trick on cutting your lettuce.

There will be less washing up to do as well as this easy technique is done without using a knife.

Suzy, the person behind the TikTok account Ocwarrior19, has shared the tip to her 120.9k followers, explaining: “My momma taught me this one.”

She begins by taking the lettuce out of the wrapping and flipping it over so the core is facing down towards the table below her.

She then demonstrates the “easiest way to take the core out” of the lettuce by banging it down on the hard surface.

When she flips it over, the core has become loose and can be taken out whole meaning the leaves can be picked apart and used without the need for cutting them.

It turns out we’re not the only people who didn’t know this handy tip, as viewers flooded the comments to show their amazement.

One person wrote: “Thanks for sharing. Now I’m going to have to try!”

Another said: “Whaaat!! Come here iceberg lettuce (in my fridge!)

A third commented: “The things TikTok will teach you”

There are many other comments with people claiming their own mothers and grandmothers taught them the same trick years ago.

One commenter even had their own tip to add, and said: “Keep that piece and put it in water…it will grow more lettuce.”
