Leaf Lettuce
The curly leaves are dark green rather than most pale, yellow-green summer lettuce with a sweet crunchy taste. Very versatile, it can be used in "romaine" type salads as well as "wilted salads".
Leaf lettuce describes the varieties with leaves that branch from a single stalk in a loose bunch rather than forming a tight head. The leaves are crisper and more full-flavored than those of the Head Lettuce varieties.
