Tight, crunchy hearts perfect for charring on the grill cut-side down. The BBQ lettuce.
Flavour
Little Gem offers a fresh, slightly sweet flavour with a crisp texture that stands up well to heat without wilting.
In the kitchen
Ideal for grilling cut-side down, Little Gem develops a smoky char while retaining crunch, making it perfect for smoky salads or as a warm side on the BBQ.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil and consistent moisture; grows best in cooler months to avoid bolting and benefits from regular harvesting to encourage fresh growth.
