Mini Cos Lettuce 'Little Leprechaun'
- Product number: 251000
- Origin: Mediterranean region
- Latin: Lactuca sativa var. longifolia
ORGANICALLY GROWN SEEDS! The robustness and easy cultivation of romaine lettuce are well-known. This variety has reddish-brown leaves and a milder taste than the green-leafed variety.
Fortunately, romaine lettuce is once again gaining significant attention! We are discovering this crispy, slightly spicy lettuce as a delicious raw product. Romaine lettuce is healthy and grows easily. In the past, the heads were tied together a few weeks before harvest to make them more tender, hence the name. Nowadays, we are accustomed to the taste and even appreciate a little bitterness in raw vegetables. In the past, this lettuce was even briefly cooked in the Netherlands, hence its old nickname "stoofsla" (stewed lettuce). The Romans already ate this lettuce, so it is truly a historical type!
