Batavia lettuce

Batavia is a fresh and crunchy lettuce with green, wavy leaves that balance mild bitterness with a light sweetness. It’s a popular choice for salads, sandwiches or as a side dish. The leaves always stay crisp, adding a delicious texture to any dish.

Smart
tips

Use the firm leaves in sandwiches

Thanks to its crisp texture, Batavia lettuce is ideal for burgers, sandwiches and filled rolls. Add the leaves just before serving for extra crunch.

Crunchy lettuce

If your lettuce looks a bit limp, soak it in ice-cold water to crisp it up.

Pick only what you need

Not using the whole head? Remove only the leaves you need and leave the rest as intact as possible. Store the remaining lettuce unwashed in the fridge.

Growing Method

Batavia lettuce is grown both in open fields and in greenhouses. These growing methods ensure the lettuce can develop optimally and absorb the right nutrients. Field-grown Batavia has a firmer texture and deeper flavour, while the greenhouse variety has a softer texture and lighter taste. Both methods provide a delicious and healthy lettuce for any occasion.
