Trader Joe’s Little Gem Lettuce is the latest addition to the brand’s produce section and may just be the crown jewel of all leafy greens. The lettuce is the result of cross-breeding between romaine and butter varietals, which results in a hybrid green with the crisp texture of romaine, but the mild, sweet flavor of butter lettuce. The result of this unique flavor profile and texture makes the lettuce incredibly versatile. As Trader Joe’s explains, “As a salad green, its toothsome texture and delicate flavor interact wonderfully with all kinds of dressings… In fact, Little Gem leaves are so fit for holding onto various dressings and sauces, that we also recommend using them as a vehicle for appetizer dips, hummus, or tapenades.”
