- Latin: Lactuca sativa var. longifolia
An old tie lettuce variety from Tyrol, green with chestnut-brown speckles. This variety was further developed in the USA into the current variety.
Fortunately, tie lettuce is gaining a lot of attention again! We are discovering this crispy, slightly spicy lettuce as a delicious raw product. Tie lettuce is healthy and grows easily. In the past, the heads were tied together a few weeks before harvesting to make them more tender, hence the name. Nowadays, we are used to the taste and even appreciate a little bitterness in raw vegetables. In the past, this lettuce was even briefly cooked in the Netherlands and owes its old nickname "stew lettuce" to this. The Romans already ate this lettuce, so it is truly a historical type!
