[edit] About Butterhead Lettuce

Butterhead Lettuce is a variety of head lettuce that is characterised by a small, round loosely formed head and buttery-textured leaves. The outer leaves are usually pale green while the inner leaves can have a hint of yellow.

There are two types of Butterhead Lettuce, commonly known as Bibb and Boston Lettuce. The tender leaves of Butterhead Lettuce are sweet and juicy, making for an excellent addition to raw salads.
