Usage examples
  • Probably native to the Mediterranean region since ancient times, but now cultivated worldwide, there are three main varieties of lettuce: crisphead, which has a tight solid head; cos or romaine, which has elongated, coarse leaves; and butteredheads or cabbage, which has loose, coarse leaves. All are mainly used raw in salads, though can also be braised in soups. They are available all year round.
