Cassini lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is an early-maturing oilseed lettuce variety characterized by high resistance to bolting, allowing year-round cultivation. The plant forms large, compact heads with a semi-erect rosette of leaves, approximately 16 cm high and 19 cm in diameter. The leaves are light green, slightly crinkled, and wavy at the edges, with an oily consistency that gives them tenderness and juiciness. The average head weight is about 240 grams, and the yield reaches 3.2 kg per square meter.
Cassini lettuce leaves have a mild aroma and pleasant taste, making them an excellent choice for preparing light salads, sandwiches, and garnishing dishes. They are low-calorie and rich in beneficial substances, including calcium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamins, and fiber, contributing to their value in a daily diet. The variety is suitable for cultivation on any fertile, well-drained garden soil.
For sowing convenience, coated seeds or seeds on biodegradable seed tapes of 7 meters length are offered, ensuring precise seed placement at optimal spacing and promoting fast and uniform germination. Using seed tapes significantly saves time and effort for the gardener, eliminating the need for thinning seedlings. Each package contains detailed cultivation instructions, making the cultivation of Cassini lettuce accessible and efficient.
