Seller's description

Grow a unique and delicious piece of American history with our Miner's Lettuce seeds. This fantastic cool-season green got its name during the California Gold Rush, when miners ate the succulent, vitamin-C-rich leaves to stay healthy. The plant is incredibly charming, with round leaves that are pierced through the center by the delicate white flower stalks. The leaves are tender, juicy, and have a mild, refreshing flavor perfect for salads and sandwiches.
