Care and 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.

🌱Harvesting: 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 continue growing. To harvest the full head, wait until it reaches maturity, then harvest from the base.
Taste and Use

Raw Breen leaves hold their shape well and add flavor and crunch to salads, tacos, sandwiches, and burgers. Breen is also tasty braised or added to soups!
Origin

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.
