Salanova is a new line of hybrid lettuces. They began showing up at our local market this last year. They offer several great features. The most compelling is that they are fully developed lettuces full of flavor and have great shelf life. We are using them for all our summer salads. Of the varieties, I prefer the red butter variation. The leaves are fairly uniform and blend well with a variety of dressings and salad additions. Try my vegan salad Niçiose below.
The Ultimate Efficiency Lettuce
Salanova is the newest innovation in lettuce for the salad mix market. Its unique core structure allows fully mature compact heads of lettuce to be easily cut into individual uniform leaves once harvested.
• Versatile
More growing options and ways to market Salanova than standard baby leaf.
• Efficient
Higher yield, increased shelf life, and easier to cultivate than baby leaf.
• High Value
Harvesting full-size heads produces fully developed flavor, texture, and color compared to baby leaf.
