RED LEAF LETTUCE
our organic & conventional red leaf lettuce
Red leaf lettuce opens into a head of loose leaves that are deep in rich colors of red and green. The leaves fan out from the core into a wide and curly top. The flavor is mild, with an earthier undertone than green leaf lettuce. The texture is tender and smooth and perfect for salads, wraps, and sandwiches.
