  • About
The most popular salad ingredient. Firm, compact head with crisp, mild-tasting pale green leaves. Valuable for its texture because it stays crisp longer than other lettuces. Can be used alone but is best mixed with more flavorful greens, such as romaine, because it lacks flavor itself. Keeps well.
