Salanova and Beausse 🥬

Salanova

This lettuce is available in a wide variety of forms and textures. Each type grows in a compact, rosette shape and has a round base with three times as many leaves as a typical lettuce head. The “triple heads”, as they are sometimes called, are made up of small, uniformly sized leaves growing from a uniquely structured core.

When completely developed, lettuce heads might be smooth or wrinkled, crisp or delicate, flat or frilly. It will have a sweet flavour and a softer, buttery texture or a crisp, frilly consistency with a crunch.

It is suited for raw preparations, as its mild flavour and crisp texture are showcased when used fresh. The leaves are commonly used for salads and can also be layered in sandwiches, wraps, served with potato salad, mixed into pasta or used as a garnish.

Beausse

Mesclun Mix Beausse, also known as Asian mesclun or “blue,” is a well-balanced and intense blend.

🧑‍🌾👩‍🌾This family business is probably one of the best-known on the market. They were instrumental in growing mesclun already mixed in the fields, designing their own machinery for harvesting and hydrocooling leaves and spinach. They have had a presence there for decades, bringing their produce up from the fields south of Paris, located just 30 km from Rungis.

This mesclun can be used as a plate decoration or as a side dish to complement meals. It contains 17 distinct types of salad greens and has crunchy, firm leaves with a hint of pepper.
