Organic Lettuce – Red Oak (250g) Australia

Red Oak lettuce is a type of butter lettuce. These lettuces are known for their more compact head and their mellow flavour. Red oak lettuce is more heat tolerant than iceberg lettuce and other crisphead lettuce types.

Red Oak lettuce has a more buttery, crisp texture with a mellow, nutty and sweet flavour. Perfect for those who do not like the more bitter lettuce times. Red oak lettuce is full of antioxidants as well as vitamin A, vitamin C and folate.

Perfect in a salad, its deep red colour adds a splash colour especially with greens, avocado and fruits. It can also be used as a bed for turkey, chicken and tuna or have it in a sandwiches.  The red leaves can also be blanched and used with stuffing such as mushrooms.
