Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce
A coloured variant of sucrine lettuce, Red Sucrine combines the typical sweet, sugary taste with red-edged leaves, giving it an even more eye-catching look in salads.
The Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce Plant
It belongs to the species Lactuca sativa var. capitata, family Asteraceae. A small, compact, elongated heart-shaped head, with oval light green basal leaves edged in red.
How to Sow Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce
Sow from February to July for a staggered harvest from May to October, keeping plants about 30 cm apart after thinning.
How to Grow Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce
It prefers loose or medium soils with good water availability; soil rich in organic matter favours both head development and the intensity of the red colouring.
Tips for Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce
Sun exposure intensifies the red colouring of the leaf edges; regular watering keeps the leaves turgid and crisp until harvest.
Diseases and Pests of Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce
Like the white variant, it needs protection from slugs and snails in the early stages; aphids and downy mildew can appear in overly humid conditions.
Uses and Curiosities of Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce
The colour contrast between the green leaves and red edges makes it particularly prized for mixed salads with a neat, colourful appearance.
Properties of Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce
Besides the typical properties of lettuce, the reddish colouring of the leaf edges indicates the presence of anthocyanins, antioxidant compounds that add to vitamins A and C.
Nutritional Values of Red Sucrine Butterhead Lettuce
Per 100 grams, Red Sucrine butterhead lettuce provides about 15 kcal, 1.2 g protein, 2.1 g carbohydrates, 0.2 g fat and 1.3 g fibre. Good source of vitamin A and anthocyanins.
