Baby Lettuce Information

Baby lettuce refers to a range of lettuce cultivars that are harvested for use as specialty produce before reaching full maturity. This type of lettuce can also be produced by reducing spacing between plants. Baby lettuces are typically small in size, and when harvested early, are tender and in some cases lighter than the fully grown lettuces. Baby lettuces can be derived from romaine lettuce, leaf lettuce, butterhead and crisphead lettuce varieties.
