Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is an annual plant grown for its tender leaves, eaten raw. There are many types — head, loose-leaf, romaine or curly — in shades of green or red. The leaves are rich in water, fibre, vitamins and minerals, forming the basis of countless salads. The plant prefers cool weather and fertile, moist soils, and grows quickly, allowing staggered harvesting. Lettuce is one of the most widely grown leafy vegetables, light and suitable even for containers.
