Originally from Europe, the Redina leaf lettuce has become a staple in vegetable gardens thanks to its vigor and beautiful purple color, which enhances salads. This variety of leaf lettuce is characterized by its tender, serrated leaves, whose deep red hue adds an aesthetic and flavorful touch to both the garden and the plate.

In the garden, Redina stands out for its rapid growth and slightly spreading habit, allowing it to quickly form a colorful carpet. Its relative hardiness in the face of climatic variations makes it an ideal companion for the cooler seasons of early spring or autumn. It adds diversity to a productive garden, bringing freshness and lightness to the table.

Growing climate: Temperate to cool climate
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
Care required: Occasional

Note: Tolerates cool temperatures and first light frosts relatively well.

Redina leaf lettuce is prized in mixed salads for its beautiful deep red color and crisp texture. It can be eaten raw, but also makes a great addition to lightly sautéed cooked dishes or to sandwiches for a refreshing touch. It keeps best when freshly harvested and can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Its primary use, however, remains eating it fresh as a raw vegetable.
