Butter Lettuce

Butter Lettuce

EverydayFresh

Butter lettuce is a tender leafy green variety known for its soft, pliable leaves and mildly sweet flavor, which lends it a 'buttery' texture distinct from crisper lettuces like romaine. Its loose, cup-shaped leaves are often used as salad bases or edible wraps for proteins and grains, prized in gourmet dishes for their delicate structure. While lower in fiber than darker greens, it provides modest amounts of vitamins A and K and is typically sold with roots attached to preserve freshness.
