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.
