Salanova Red Butter Lettuce

 

 

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.
