BIBB (LIMESTONE)


Bibb lettuce, also called limestone lettuce, has a very small head that has dark green leaves and a soft texture. It is often grown under glass, but does equally well when grown outdoors. This is a highly prized variety that frequently appears on menus of more elite restaurants. It is delicate, sweet, and tender, and has more flavor than most other head lettuces. Bibb lettuce is usually fairly costly in price.
