Description
Iceberg lettuce forms tight, pale green heads with crisp leaves and the familiar crunch that made it a kitchen standard. Grown at home in cool weather, it has a cleaner, fresher character than store-bought heads and a satisfying snap under the knife.
Keep the plants evenly watered and harvest when the heads feel firm but before heat pushes them too far. Use the leaves for wedges, burgers, tacos, wraps, and classic chopped salads. Sometimes the old familiar lettuce is exactly what the table needs.
