One could say that it is a cross between a romaine lettuce and a little gem lettuce so if you're looking for the traditional flavour of romaine lettuces but what you want is to serve it up as a little gem this is your ideal lettuce. A self-pollinating and year round plant, which is heart-shaped from the onset, the mini romaine has a crisp flavour and is perfect for cutting into halves and served with an anchovy on top.
Culinary uses:
A small green leaf and a yellow heart headed lettuce. Its flavour is somewhat more intense. Combines well with anchovies, canned tuna and strong vinaigrettes.
