Taken from Rav Ovadia’s Halacha Email on Lel HaSeder - Maror:
1. Everyone is obligated to eat a Kezayit (olive’s colume, approximately 27 grams) of Maror on the
night of Pesakh. There are several kinds of vegetables that one may use for
Maror, however the predominant custom today [especially among Sepharadim] is to
use the leaves and stalks of Romaine lettuce to fulfill the Mitzvah of eating
Maror.
2. One should be extremely careful when eating lettuce
leaves to only use lettuce that was specially-grown to be worm-free, in which
case a thorough washing to remove flies and the like will be sufficient for
consumption. [When buying these leaves, one must be extremely careful that this
lettuce should be under reliable Kashrut supervision, for unfortunately it is
common in certain places that lettuce will be packaged in a plastic bag and
present as though it were worm-free.]
