Care & Harvest
💡Temperature: Lettuce prefers cooler temperatures (60-70°F). If placed in higher temperatures, it can turn bitter and bolt.
✂️ Pruning: Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod.Â
🥬 Harvest: For ongoing harvest, snip the outer leaves just above the base of the plant once they reach 4 inches tall to let the inner leaves continue to grow. Leave 1/3 of the plant if you want it to keep growing. To harvest the full head, wait until it reaches maturity, then harvest from the base.Â
Quick Facts
Lettuce is thought to have originated in the Middle East, with the earliest depictions of it appearing in Egypt around 2700 BC. Ancient Egyptians bred lettuce plants to be less bitter than their wild counterparts, and used oil from wild lettuces for a variety of applications, including mummification.
This variety has crunchy-sweet, frilled, lime green leaves that form a lovely and compact rosette if left to mature. This Salanova variety is considered the newest development in lettuce evolution, delivering extremely attractive and tasty leaves with a 40% higher yield than traditional baby leaf lettuce. Lettuces are particularly high in vitamin A, and Potassium, which supports blood pressure, cardiovascular health, bone strength, and muscle strength.
Try Green Salanova anywhere you’d use other lettuces, such as mixed salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
