Early, tall, and dark green. Green Forest is slow-bolting and has smooth ribs so it packs and handles with little damage. A good performer for field or greenhouse production in conventional and hydroponic systems. Tolerant to tipburn. Intermediate resistance to corky root.
Romaine lettuce is a very good source of dietary fiber, manganese, potassium, biotin, vitamin B1, copper, iron and vitamin C. It is also a good source of vitamin B2, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B6, phosphorus, chromium, magnesium, calcium and pantothenic acid.
This is a cool weather crop and grows best indoors or outdoors in the spring and fall. For delicious summer lettuce, we recommend Green Summer Crisp.
