Nutritional Information
Romaine lettuce is a nutrient-dense powerhouse. It is an excellent source of Vitamins A and K, as well as a very good source of Vitamin C and Folate. This lettuce also provides dietary fibre and minerals such as iron, making it a highly nutritious and refreshing addition to your diet.
What you need to know to Plant & Grow
- Sowing: Sow your seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, then every two weeks thereafter to ensure a continuous supply. Sow about 3 mm deep in rows 45 cm apart, or in blocks or squares.
- Care: While lettuce is fairly adaptable, it will make its best growth in organic, well-drained soils in a sunny location. Thin heading lettuce to 30 cm spacing. An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is imperative for success.
- Harvesting: Harvest head lettuce by cutting the head off at the base just below the lower leaves. Once the lettuce bolts (starts to produce a rapidly growing flower stem), the leaves will become bitter.
- Germination: Germination occurs in 5-10 days.
