Lettuce
Lettuce is a cool-season leafy green valued for its crisp texture, refreshing flavor, and versatility in fresh dishes. It is available in many varieties, each offering different textures, colors, and flavors.
Common types include butterhead, romaine, leaf lettuce, green leaf, red leaf, oak leaf, and specialty lettuces. Some varieties are tender and delicate, while others provide a crisp, sturdy texture ideal for salads, wraps, and sandwiches.
Lettuce is one of the earliest and longest-running crops available from Northeastern farms, often grown in spring and fall when temperatures are cooler.
