Fresh Butter Lettuce
Butterhead lettuce, also known as Bibb or Boston lettuce, is a variety of lettuce with soft, buttery leaves and a delicate flavour.
Its leaves are tender and loosely formed, creating a loose head rather than a tightly packed one. Butterhead lettuce is popular for its mild and slightly sweet taste, making it a versatile choice for salads and sandwiches.
This variety of lettuce is a good source of vitamins A and K, providing benefits for eye health and bone strength. It also contains dietary fibre, which aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness.
The soft and buttery texture of the leaves adds a pleasant mouthfeel to dishes.
Whether used as a base for salads or as a leafy wrap for fillings, butterhead lettuce offers a refreshing and mild option for incorporating greens into your meals.
