Soft, tender, and delicately sweet, Boston lettuce is prized for its smooth buttery texture and beautifully layered leaves. This classic butterhead variety forms a loose, compact head with tender green leaves that are crisp near the center and silky on the outer edges.
Its mild flavor and delicate texture make Boston lettuce perfect for fresh salads and light dishes where the lettuce can truly shine.
