Serving possibilities beyond the ordinary
Explore endless serving possibilities; the leaves stay crisp even when combined with warm ingredients, making them perfect as edible spoons for tapas, as a burger garnish, or as a wrap. Of course, Crunchy Lettuce serves as the perfect ingredient for Caesar salads.
Suitable for hydroponics and mechanical harvest
With Crunchy Lettuce, growers can set themselves apart from other lettuce varieties. The oval shape is well-suited for mechanical harvesting of whole heads or single leaves. Additionally, Crunchy Lettuce serves as the ideal Iceberg alternative for hydroponics.
