(Lactuca sativa) Cos. The ancient ‘greasy’ lettuce of historic Constantinople is excellent for salads and grilling. This is a romaine variety, with long leaves, a crisp center, and white seeds. It has been cultivated for 1,500 years in Istanbul’s famous Bostanlar urban gardens, which are now threatened by urban sprawl. Recognized by the Ark of Taste, Yedikule lettuce is known for its incredible flavor and tender, naturally oily leaves that need no dressing. Thanks to Kate Jantz-Koprivnik for growing and sharing these seeds. We are delighted to offer this gourmet and culturally significant lettuce!
