Lettuce Leaves: A Versatile and Nutritious Green
Lettuce leaves are a popular ingredient in many dishes, from salads to sandwiches, and are known for their crisp texture and refreshing taste. They come in various types, each with its unique features and nutritional benefits.
Romaine Lettuce
Romaine lettuce, also known as Cos lettuce, is characterized by its long, elongated leaf head and crisp texture. It has a slightly bitter taste and is traditionally used in Caesar Salad. The Green Cos variety produces large, firm hearts with a crisp texture and good flavor. It is suitable for both spring and autumn sowing.
Butterhead Lettuce
Butterhead lettuce forms a knot of sweet and succulent soft-textured leaves. Buttercrunch has light green, tender leaves that are perfect for salads. It is an excellent summer lettuce option as it rarely bolts.
