Bibb lettuce
Bibb lettuce is a tender, loose-headed lettuce variety known for its small, rounded leaves, delicate texture, and buttery feel. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with subtle earthy notes and a refreshing, clean finish. Its soft, silky leaves are less crisp than romaine but more delicate and tender, making it a popular choice for fresh salads, lettuce wraps, and sandwiches. Bibb lettuce pairs well with light vinaigrettes, creamy dressings, fresh herbs, and a variety of vegetables, allowing its delicate flavor to complement other ingredients without overpowering them.

Choosing
Choose Bibb lettuce with fresh, tender leaves that are vibrant green and free from browning, wilting, or slimy spots. The heads should feel light but compact, with leaves that are loosely layered and intact. Smaller heads are often especially tender and sweet. Avoid lettuce with yellowing outer leaves, dark spots, or signs of moisture damage. Bibb lettuce is delicate and perishable, so select heads that look fresh and plan to use them within a few days.
