About Jeunes pousses de laitue rouge

“Jeunes pousses de laitue rouge” is French for young leaves of red-leaved lettuce, harvested before the plant reaches full size. The term describes a leafy salad ingredient, not a single lettuce cultivar; leaf colour can range from green with red margins to deeper red or bronze.

The leaves are generally tender and eaten raw, often in salads or mixed-leaf preparations. Their flavour is mild and fresh, sometimes with a slight bitterness, and their texture is delicate. Exact colour and shape depend on the lettuce variety and growing stage.
