Lettuce: Chinese Sword
R30.00 incl VAT
This variety is from Peak Week Pods. JC Terblanche says: ‘Chinese Sword lettuce is an Asian loose-leaf type of lettuce also known as Taiwanese Sword, Pointed Leaf lettuce, or Oriental lettuce. The plants are medium-sized averaging 30cm in height and producing long bright green leaves that grow upright from a central stem. The leaves are slightly serrated along the edges and have a crunchy midrib with prominent veins spanning across the surface. Sword Lettuce is crisp and tender with a texture similar to butter lettuce. Pick the leaves young and come again for more. They produce from winter to spring. Avoid larger leaves as they can sometimes have a slight bitterness to them, so harvest them young and early.’
