Little Gem Lettuce
Little Gem is the mini-romaine that fine dining restaurants love — a compact, dense head about the size of a large fist with thick, crisp, deeply green outer leaves and a tightly folded, pale, creamy heart that is tender and wonderfully sweet. Its flavor is exceptional — far more complex and satisfying than standard romaine — and its size makes it perfect for halving and grilling, dressing whole as a composed salad, or using individual leaves as cups for filling.
