Little Gem Lettuce

EverydayFresh

Little Gem lettuce is a compact, sweet-tasting green that combines the crisp texture of romaine with the buttery tenderness of butter lettuce. This miniature variety forms small, dense heads with sturdy leaves that hold dressings well, making it ideal for salads, appetizer cups, or grilled preparations. It provides a low-calorie source of vitamins A and K while offering a refreshing crunch that maintains integrity even when paired with hearty ingredients.
