Cosberg Living Lettuce

Cosberg Lettuce Heads – Kumusha Farms

A unique variety, a cross between an Iceberg and a Cos Lettuce (Romaine) with sweet, crunchy deep green leaves. The boat-shaped leaves have the taste of an iceberg Lettuce but the texture of a Cos.

The crunchy texture is perfect in a salad or the leaves can be picked whole and used as serving boats for hot or cold accompaniments.

Living lettuce grown right here on Saltspring Island! This lettuce is grown hydroponically in the Fulford Valley by the Harvey Family,  who have spent the last fifteen years growing in South Africa. After surviving some of the coldest sustained temperatures here on Saltspring – they have proven it can be done! This is a another tasty step further in creating year-round food security on Saltspring. Get ready to have fresh, nutrient rich, living lettuce in our backyard!

Did you know that lettuce loses 46% of key nutrients within seven days of cold storage? So fresh local isn’t just tastier- its better for you. These stunning heads of lettuce are grown with love, harvested on Tuesday and in your fridge by the afternoon- roots and all!
