Stem lettuce – Celtuce
Latin name: Lactuca sativa var. asparagina
Packaging: 1g
Celtuce, also called stem lettuce or Chinese asparagus lettuce, is an unusual but very useful lettuce. It is grown both for its tender leaves and its thick, crispy stem which is harvested and used much like asparagus or broccoli stem in stir-fries, soups or pickles. The flavor is mild and slightly nutty.
