MFC Living Butter Lettuce is greenhouse-grown with roots attached to extend shelf life. It has large, loosely cupped, round heads with green leaves and subtly sweet flavor. Its tender texture works well on sandwiches and burgers, as wraps, and in many salad applications.
BENEFITS
MFC Living Butter Lettuce is sustainably grown with 90% less land and water versus regularly grown lettuces—and always backed by Markon’s 5-Star Food Safety® Program.
Preparation Inspiration
• Tender and sweet, butter lettuce makes excellent salads, and pairs well with salty meats, bright citrus, juicy berries, and shredded cheeses.
• This variety’s cuplike leaves can be used in lettuce wrap recipes, filled with dips, stir-fried vegetables and meats, or ancient grain mixtures.
• Butter lettuce’s soft texture works well in healthy salad and rice bowls, topped with colorful extras like watermelon radish slices, chunks of avocado, crunchy nuts, and crispy bacon or croutons.
• Warm applications are also popular—a quick sauté or time on the grill add smoky, charred flavor that pairs well with barbecue and umami-rich sauces.
