Description
This variety of lettuce has large wavy leaves or as people say jagged edged leaves. The leaves are thick, crispy, with a lustrous green colour and gradually becomes dark red at the ends. It is believed to be a native salad green of Ancient Egypt. The leaves add a crunch to your food with a slightly bitter yet pleasant taste as it offers little bit of sweetness. The leaves are loosely attached, giving it an appearance of semi rosette pattern. You can add this to your salads, burgers, wraps, sandwiches or experiment with something new too. It is also known as summer crisp lettuce.
