About Batavia lettuce

Batavia lettuce is a crisp-leaved lettuce type with rounded, often ruffled leaves that form a loose head or rosette. It is eaten raw in salads and sandwiches, and may also be cooked briefly. The leaves are commonly green, though red-tinged forms are also sold.

Its leaves are generally crisp and juicy, with a mild, slightly sweet flavour. Heads and loose leaves are both available, and colour and leaf shape vary by cultivar. Batavia is a lettuce type rather than a single uniform cultivar, so products can differ in appearance and texture.
