Description
This variety of lettuce looks exactly like oak leaves. They are green in colour, have deep lobes and are deeply serrated. The leaves are loosely packed in a semi tight rosette. They have a mild nutty flavour and can be picked at baby leaf stage too. The adult leaves can taste a little bitter and are thick and spongy. The stem is a little short which gives a rosette appearance. This variety originated from France. You can consume it in salads, sandwiches, burgers or wraps and even in vegetables, soups or curries.
