Iceberg Crisphead lettuce is a widely recognized variety of lettuce known for its tight, dense, and spherical head of crisp, pale green leaves. It is a classic choice for salads, sandwiches, and wraps due to its mild flavor and crunchy texture. Iceberg lettuce has a neutral taste, making it versatile for various dishes. Its high water content gives it a clean, refreshing crunch.
Appearance: The heads are compact and round, resembling a small cabbage. The outer leaves are pale to medium green, while the inner leaves are lighter, often almost white, due to the lack of sunlight reaching the core. The leaves are firm, crisp, and layered tightly together.
Growing Conditions: Best grown in cooler seasons, as it can bolt in hot temperatures. Requires ample sunlight for healthy growth. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Typically, ready for harvest in about 70-80 days
