Salanova Red
Butter Lettuce
I never
heard of Salanova Red Butter Lettuce. We found some recently
at a nursery center. The lettuce originated in the Netherlands. It has a crisp, tangy flavor and contains
calcium and fiber.
We
have it planted in a pot on our back patio and have been enjoying the thick
leaves in our nightly salad. It feels so different to peel a leaf off a growing
plant instead of reaching into the fridge for the usual store-bought
lettuce. The continuing growth enhances the flavor and crispness.
There are
eight different Salanova varieties. We also bought a green lettuce and are enjoying
that, too. Maybe next Spring I’ll look for any other kinds of Salanova lettuce
that might have found a home in one of our New Jersey farms.
