Not only good, but good for you.

jackb, I "threw down" a bunch of mixed lettuce seed that had been stored in my freezer for 8 years. It all came up very well, and there is a beautiful red variety in there, looking very similar to your Lollo Rossa. I think it is called Red Sails, but not real sure. It is beautiful and has leaves as large as my outstretched hand. Don't have a clue if it is as nutritious as the Lollo Rossa, tho. I have to admit, the only way I really like leaf lettuce is "wilted" with hot bacon grease, sugar and vinegar. But I've been eating a lot of it that way!

I have read that all of the red lettuce varieties are more nutritious then green. I have grown red sails and like it, and there is a red romaine called silva that we like also. I also store my lettuce seeds in the freezer and have had great luck doing so. Happy Gardening.

I have to admit that - I like it that way too, So Lucky!

Having wilted lettuce a long time ago, was probably the beginning of my interest in stir-fry. If you think about it, what goes into a salad dressing could go into the skillet (or wok) with the veggies. In proper order, of course.

Hmmm. Never thought of it that way. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it.
