semi crinkly Explanation: Looking at the frisée growing in my garden, this seemed a possibility. "Frisee Lettuce is also called Curly Endive. Can be found in many herb salad mixes because of the very curly crinkly shape of the leaves and the nice peppery ...£ www.deliciousorganics.com/recipes/greens.htm "Batavia lettuce is a non-hearty lettuce with frilly leaves. Its crunchy nutty flavoured leaves grow upright to form a loose leaf head. ..." www.britishleafysalads.co.uk/know/leaf-guide.shtml I think that "frilly" sounds somehow less scientific than "crinkly", though it could be semi-frilly. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2009-04-10 16:49:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I did mean to hyphenate that: "semi-crinkly". |

Semi-heading lettuce Explanation: It is describing the head of the lettuce- there is large heading, semi-heading etc...for different types and varieties of lettuce Semi-heading is otherwise known as loose-leaf lettuce, apparently (see links) www.mastergardeners.org/picks/let-gro.html www.practicallyedible.com/edible.nsf/pages/batavialettuce davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/70748/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-04-10 18:50:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For more explanation on types of lettuce see here: There are four groups of lettuce based on growth habits: head, semi-heading, loose-leaf and Cos or Romaine. Head lettuce is the most widely consumed it the United States. It is the Crisphead or Iceberg in the produce department. Iceberg is one of several varieties of lettuce, but Ithaca and Montello are suggested for Illinois. For best results plant as early as possible. Semi-heading is also called butterhead, Boston or Bibb. In this form, the outer leaves do not wrap tightly together. They develop an open, flat rosette surrounding the inner leaves that barely overlap. Buttercrunch, Bibb and Tania are good varieties. http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/state/newsdetail.cfm?NewsID=13... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-04-10 18:52:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- - of course, in the definition box, i shouldn't have written the 'lettuce' , only semi-heading, excuse me. |
