BUTTER LETTUCE
our conventional butter lettuce
Also known as butterhead, Boston, and Bibb lettuce, butter leaf lettuce has a soft, buttery texture with a sweet, mild flavor. Heads form in a small, round, loose shape, and provide the perfect leaves for burgers, lettuce wraps, and more. Our butter lettuce is harvested straight from the fields for our retail and foodservice customers, where you can find it sitting in the produce section at your grocery store or on your salad plate at a restaurant.
