The first fresh lettuce from the Rhineland

In the Rhenish greenhouses, the harvest of fresh lettuce has begun. Now, consumers can finally resort to regional products, says the Provincial Association of Rhenish Fruit and Vegetable Growers (Bonn).



In addition to the classic lettuce the range also includes the red Lollo Rosso, the yellow-green Lollo Bionda, Kraussalat and Raisa lettuce. So there is a colorful variety that mixes very well and brings splashes of color to your plate.

Greenhouse lettuces usually have more tender leaves than free-range lettuces. Since important ingredients are lost during storage and since they wither faster than free-range lettuces, they should be consumed as soon as possible after harvesting. Therefore, it is particularly advantageous for consumers when the lettuces are grown on their doorstep.

A fresh-cut lettuce can be recognised by a bright and fresh cut mark on the stalk. Consumers should also make sure that the leaves are lying flat and are not dried out.
