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 as soon as the earth can be worked in the spring, and then every two weeks thereafter for a continuous supply. Sow about 3 mm deep in rows 45 cm apart, or in blocks and squares to nourish a dense patch.
- Care: This lettuce thrives in organic, well-drained soils in a sunny location. The cool nights of early spring or late summer and fall are beneficial for a top-quality harvest.
- Harvesting: Harvest leaf lettuce by either pulling the entire plant or by mindfully cutting leaves from the main stem at least 2.5 cm above the base—this will allow the plant to sprout new 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.
