Fresh local organically grown Heirloom Green Leaf Lettuce, a loose-leaf variety with ruffled, tender leaves that grow in an open rosette rather than a tight head. Unlike hybrid lettuces bred for uniform shipping, heirloom green leaf varieties are open-pollinated, grown from seed saved and replanted season after season, which is part of why the leaf stays loose and the flavor mild and slightly sweet rather than bred for crunch and shelf life. The leaves are thin enough to eat raw in salads and wraps, and hold their shape well when torn by hand rather than cut with a knife, which helps them stay crisp longer in the bowl. Use the larger outer leaves for salads and sandwiches, and save the tender inner leaves for garnish. Pairs well with lemon vinaigrette, shaved parmesan, radish, and soft herbs like dill and chives.
