While we want to hang on to the delicious earthiness of our winter celery root, the kaleidoscope bursts of radishes, our sweet and crunchy carrots, and our sugary and beloved beets, we can also welcome the approaching rise in temperature with the anticipation of garden greens: leafy, ruffled, vividly-hued, luxurious, and sturdy heads of lettuce. From the spicy and sophisticated, deep crimson Red Tango, to the naturally sweet and vibrant green Sweet Romaine, to the wildly unique and nutty leaves of the Painted Oak, both chefs and diners will delight in enjoying a sneak peak of spring with a delicious array of lettuces on their plates, in their salads, or as a supporting role to a variety of ingredients. Our selections of heirloom lettuces not only offer an intense visual appeal with strikingly rich color and sizes ranging from delicate Petites to tender Baby leaves, these unique and flavorful lettuces add a fresh taste of early spring and a robust body and texture to your late winter dishes.
