Salanova® Lettuces
Salanova® lettuce is a full-sized variety developed for the baby lettuce market. Botanically these varieties are scientifically known as Lactuca sativa.
Description/Taste
Baby Mixed lettuce can include many varieties, but we typically have blends that include Red and Green Oak, Lollo Rosso, Red Romaine, Green Romaine and Tango to create a variety of color, flavor (mild, bitter, peppery, green), shape, and texture.
Seasons/Availability
Baby mix lettuce is available year-round.
Nutritional Value
Most lettuces provide varying amounts of vitamins A and C, folate, and iron.
Applications
Depending on the combination of lettuces, baby mix lettuce can be used on its own as a salad or mixed in with other more traditional salads (Caesar, nicoise, cobb) to change up the look or flavor. Add to appetizers, use in a sandwich, or add leaves to a sushi roll or hand roll. Braise or saute and blend with cheese to create a stuffing for pastas or vegetables.
