LETTUCE
A herbaceous plant belonging to the Daisy family, with a branched stem from about four to six decimetres high, large, radical leaves that are soft and veined, egg-shaped, whole or serrated, flowers on many heads with yellow petals, and a dry, grey, compressed fruit with a single seed.
The most common varieties are:
- Iceberg Lettuce: Round in shape with large, tightly packed, crunchy leaves. Green on the outside getting whiter as they approach the stem. They have a cabbage-like appearance.
- Romaine or Cos Lettuce: It is a variety with a long, broad, upright stem. It has dark green leaves which are loosely grouped around the stem without forming a true heart.
- Mini Cos Lettuce: A cos lettuce but smaller in size.
