Red Gentilina Lettuce
It produces a voluminous head of good specific weight, with a heart full of intensely red, very tender, frilled leaves with a particularly sweet flavour.
The Red Gentilina Lettuce Plant
It belongs to the species Lactuca sativa subsp. secalina, family Asteraceae. It forms a slightly elongated, open, voluminous head with wavy, frilled leaves in intense red.
How to Sow Red Gentilina Lettuce
Sow from March to September in a seedbed or directly in the field, transplanting seedlings about 25-30 days after sowing.
How to Grow Red Gentilina Lettuce
It has good bolt tolerance; it prefers cool, well-drained soils, with sunny or partly shaded exposure during the hottest months.
Tips for Red Gentilina Lettuce
Harvest about 35 days after transplanting; it regrows quickly after cutting — leave 2-3 cm of stem to encourage faster regrowth.
Diseases and Pests of Red Gentilina Lettuce
It can be affected by downy mildew and grey mould in humid conditions; aphids and slugs are the most common pests to keep under control.
Uses and Curiosities of Red Gentilina Lettuce
Easy to grow either as a head or cut-and-come-again crop, it is eaten fresh in single or mixed salads; its intense colour makes it very striking alongside green varieties.
Properties of Red Gentilina Lettuce
It has a very low calorie content and is rich in carotenoids, iron, potassium and vitamins A, B2 and C; the red colouring also provides antioxidant anthocyanins.
Nutritional Values of Red Gentilina Lettuce
Per 100 grams, red gentilina lettuce provides about 16 kcal, 1.3 g protein, 2.3 g carbohydrates, 0.2 g fat and 1.5 g fibre. Good source of vitamin A and potassium.
