Green Deer Tongue Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) - The Green Deer Tongue lettuce is a loose-leaf variety that sprouts up from the ground in shocks of light green pointed leaves. Long-standing as a boxed garden mainstay, Green Deer Tongue is slow to bolt and heat resistant. This lettuce has a fantastic texture and a lovely floral flavour profile. Pairs well in salads with seeds, nuts, and a vinegar dressing. A favourite pick on our family farm!
