Firecracker Lettuce

Firecracker Lettuce is a loose leaf, red lettuce available in late winter-spring. Firecracker Lettuce is a winter crop that withers in extreme heat, so it does best in cool weather. This lettuce is thin, glossy, and wavy. It compliments these flavors: bold, cool, sweet, and nutty. It has bitter, sharp, and bright taste. Some of its best flavors are in salads and rich pasta dishes. You can grow some of this yummy treat.
