Nutritional Information
Lettuce is a nutrient-rich vegetable with a mild flavour. It is an excellent source of Vitamin K and a good source of Vitamin A (beta-carotene) and Folate. This lettuce also contains minerals such as iron, potassium, and manganese, in addition to dietary fibre and beneficial antioxidants.
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.
- Care: Lettuce is a sun-loving, cool-weather crop that grows best in organic, well-drained soil. An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is a key to success, so keep your eyes on the prize! Be mindful of planting too late in the spring, as this variety can be prone to bolting in hot weather.
- 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 become bitter, so make sure to get it before it passes the finish line.
- Germination: Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
