Nutritional benefits

  • Lettuce is a light, hydrating green that helps add volume to meals.
  • Romaine and darker leaf lettuces usually offer more vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate than pale head lettuce.
  • Harvesting leaves fresh helps preserve crisp texture and mild flavor.

Growing tips

  • Pick outside leaves first and keep the crown intact for regrowth.
  • Avoid hot, dry placement because lettuce can turn bitter or bolt early.
  • Thin crowded seedlings so each plant has room to form a clean rosette.
