Care & Harvest

💡Temperature: Lettuce prefers cooler temperatures (60-70F), and if placed in higher temperatures, it will turn bitter, bolt, and flower early.

 

✂️ Pruning: Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod. 

 

🥬 Harvest: Lettuce can be picked as individual leaves or harvested as a full head. For ongoing harvest, once the leaves are 4 inches tall, snip the outer leaves an inch above the base of the plant and let the inner leaves continue to grow and mature. Do not cut more than one-third of the plant if you want it to keep growing.

Quick Facts

Lettuce is assumed to have originated in the Middle East with the earlier depictions being found from ancient Egypt around 2700 BC. Ancient Egyptians bred these plants to be less bitter. The oil from the wild plants was used in a variety of applications, including mummification. 

Red Sails has ruffled red tinted leaves and a mild flavor. It also has more vitamin C than other lettuce varieties. 

Use Red Sails as a base green in gourmet salads or to add a bitter-free crunch to burgers.
