Boston Bibb Lettuce

Named for its original cultivator, John Bibb, Bibb lettuce is grown for its smooth texture and crisp flavor for use in wraps, soups, and salads. Besides, this lettuce contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium and is also a good source of vitamins A and K, which in turn is known as the “blood-clotting vitamin” for its important role in healing wounds. Predominately used as the principal ingredient in salad, Bibb's textures and subtle flavors are a perfect canvas for savory and bold, or bright, fruity companion ingredients. This lettuce is also commonly layered in sandwiches or used as a wrap for tuna or chicken.
