We love lettuce and grow a wide variety of it, with the hope that you will constantly be surprised and delighted with the different tastes and textures of this vegetable. There is much variation within this vegetable; we grow romaine, butterhead, looseleaf, and summer crisp types, and they come green, red, and speckled coloration.
How to use it:
In tossed salads, with all types of other seasonal vegetable fixings
On sandwiches for an added crunchy texture and sweet taste
Lightly sauteed or grilled; it may seem strange to cook lettuce, but I urge everyone to enjoy a Caesar salad with grilled, farm-fresh romaine!
How to store it: In the refrigerator, inside a non-breathable container (plastic bag, glass or plastic storage tub, etc.).
