We grow the mini romaine lettuce from May to October in Büttelborn (Hesse) and in Gresse (Mecklenburg-West Pomerania). Our organic mini romaine lettuce grows on our fields in and around Gallin/Kölzin. When it’s too cold to grow here in Germany, the mini romaine lettuce grows under the Spanish sun at our plant in Balsapintada (Murcia).

A temperate climate provides excellent growing conditions, since mini romaine lettuce is sensitive to changes in external circumstances. The young plants thrive perfectly on slightly lighter soils.

To prepare the mini romaine lettuce, simply cut off the stem at the bottom. Then rinse the whole leaves under cold water and use as required.

Mini romaine lettuce is incredibly versatile. It is most commonly used as a salad ingredient. Thanks to the firm structure of its leaves, it can also be served hot – simply fry briefly in the pan and season accordingly to create an extraordinary delicacy. The mini romaine lettuce also serves as a great finger food boat and will complement any party buffet.

Thanks to its firm structure, the mini romaine lettuce will not wilt so quickly and can therefore be stored in the fridge for a few days without any problems. It is always best to store the lettuce in its original packaging, as this will help to keep it fresh for longer. If you take out just one lettuce, you can wrap the other one in the film and store it in the vegetable drawer for a few days..
