Green lettuce


Explanation:
In inglese non sarebbe biondo, ma verde (simile alle uve). Il lollo e` "prize head lettuce" Poi "lattughino biondo" sarebbe "green lettuce" e "lollo biondo" sarebbe "green prize head lettuce." Va bene anche usare la parola in italiano, lollo, come visto qua nel elenco d'ingredienti: http://www.freshexpress.com/product/certified-organic/organi...

Pero`, devo dirti che se chiedi a qualsiasi persona che parla inglese, e` probabile che "prizehead lettuce" non e` conosciuto. Ma questo e` un elenco di prodotti per un mercato, e per questo direi che va bene comunque. In either case, biondo is "green" here.

Reference: lollo bionda

Reference information:
Lattughino: Tra le lattughe di questa varietà sono comprese le Italiane Lollo Bionda e Lollo Rossa, oltre alla lattuga gentile. Il lollo bionda e il lollo rossa sono lattughe molto arricciate e sono caratterizzate dalla lunga durata e dal gusto intenso. Tagliata finemente può essere mescolata in modo eccellente ad altri tipi di lattuga, nelle insalate miste. Sono anche adatte a condimenti forti e ad essere abbinate a carne fritta solo leggermente.

As I know it (and we grow it!) this is not babyleaf. It grows into a full head, but can be partially cut and continues growing.
