Whole lettuce. Very crisp & delicious according to the grower!

 

Butter lettuce, also known as butterhead or Bibb lettuce, is a type of lettuce with soft, tender, and mild-flavored leaves that have a velvety, buttery texture. It is popular in salads, as a wrap, or in sandwiches, and can also be used as a delicate base for other dishes. Its fragile leaves bruise easily, so it should be handled gently and is often sold with roots intact to maintain freshness. 

Characteristics

  • Texture and flavor: The name "butter lettuce" comes from its soft, buttery-smooth texture. The flavor is mild with a hint of sweetness, making it an ideal base for a wide range of ingredients.
  • Appearance: It forms a loose, rounded head that can be light green or tinged with red. The leaves are succulent and delicate.
  • Varieties: Common varieties include Bibb, Boston, and Buttercrunch.
