📝 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Bronze Mignonette Butterhead Lettuce offers a delicate, buttery texture with subtle sweet notes and a beautiful bronze-tinged appearance. Each head provides approximately 142g of fresh, crisp leaves perfect for salads and sandwiches.

🌿 CROP DETAILS
Bronze Mignonette Butterhead (Lactuca sativa var. capitata) is a heritage variety that combines the tender texture of butterhead lettuce with unique bronze-tipped leaves. This variety was developed to provide both aesthetic appeal and nutritional value, with higher levels of anthocyanins (beneficial antioxidants) in its bronze-colored leaves compared to standard green varieties.

Our vertical farming method enhances this variety's natural characteristics by providing precise environmental control, resulting in consistent quality and taste year-round. The controlled environment particularly benefits this delicate variety, protecting its tender leaves while maximizing nutrient density.
