Jericho Organic Lettuce Seeds

Jericho is a full size, bolt-resistant green romaine that stays sweet even in the heat of summer. We first grew this lettuce in 2003 and it’s always been a favorite … but when we included it in our 2016 hot weather summer lettuce trial, it rated #1 in flavor! Bred in the Levant region (Middle East) to withstand heat. The heads are large sized, crunchy, and delicious. Can also be harvested as baby lettuce and will grow back after multiple cuttings. A good choice for market growers. Did you know that you can cook lettuce? Sounds weird but we fell in love with it – sprinkled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt … then grilled or browned in the broiler. Top it off with dried cherries and chèvre cheese – it’s delightful! 60 days to maturity.
