Butter lettuce, also known as Bibb or Boston lettuce, has soft, delicate leaves with a velvety texture and a slightly sweet, mild flavor. The leaves are tender yet sturdy enough to hold light fillings, making them popular for wraps and salads. Its subtle, buttery taste complements a wide range of ingredients without overpowering them, and its cup-like shape is ideal for presenting fresh, colorful dishes. This lettuce is often appreciated for its tender bite and refined appearance in both simple and gourmet recipes.
