SalaCrisp®

Interesting facts

SalaCrisp®, like almost all other lettuces, belongs to the large Asteraceae family. However, SalaCrisp® is a completely new type of lettuce that has only been available for outdoor cultivation since 2013. It combines the best of mini romaine and iceberg lettuce. The crispy heart leaves are reminiscent of iceberg lettuce, while the slightly extended head shape and aromatic flavour are more like mini romaine lettuce.

 

SalaCrisp® is particularly crisp and tasty, providing the optimal portion size for small households, so people can freshly prepare their own individual portion of salad. You won't have any leftover lettuce or cut lettuce that has to be stored in the fridge. SalaCrisp® is also great for adding an extra twist to a mixed salad. Its crunchy leaf structure is retained for a long time even after preparation.

We grow our SalaCrisp® in our fields in Ohlendorf (Lower Saxony). Thanks to the farmland's proximity to the North Sea and its open location to the west, temperatures are moderate and there is a regular flow of fresh air. Northern Germany thus provides the ideal growing conditions for SalaCrisp®.

Like mini romaine lettuce, SalaCrisp® is very easy to prepare. Just cut off a small piece of the stalk and then rinse briefly in water. Do not cut the leaves into small pieces before washing, otherwise valuable nutrients will be washed out.

 

Thanks to its crisp leaves and great flavour, SalaCrisp® works well with other salad ingredients. Let your creativity run wild. Either enjoy it with a tasty dressing or nibble on the crisp leaves as a light snack.

 

Its crunchy leaf structure is retained for a long time even after preparation, giving it a shelf life similar to that of iceberg lettuce. If you do not consume SalaCrisp® immediately after purchase, it is advisable to store the lettuce wrapped in its packaging in the vegetable compartment of the fridge.
