This butterhead lettuce is easily one of the prettiest varieties with its vibrant green leaves dappled with dark red speckles. Both visually stunning and delicious, it’s an heirloom variety brought to America by the Mennonites in the 1700s. Its self-blanching habit creates a sweet, tender white center that’s absolutely delectable. This variety is so exceptional that it’s listed in the Ark of Taste, highlighting its cultural and culinary significance. A true gem among butterhead lettuces!
