Butter Crunch Lettuce

Butter Crunch Lettuce is a proven variety that was an All-America Selections winner in 1963. It produces dense heads with a rich, green exterior and creamy, white interior. Leaves have a smooth, buttery taste that is great for salads, wraps, tacos and many other preparations. Butter Crunch lettuce is extremely nutritious and rich in Vitamin A. Heads are soft and well-formed and are best consumed soon after harvest. If kept dry, they can be stored up to a week in cold storage. Butter Crunch retains a milder flavor longer in the field and is less prone to get bitter as heads get larger. It exhibits a moderate heat-tolerance that allows it to hold in the field in late spring without bolting.
