Winter Density is sometimes described as a tall buttercrunch and is an heirloom from 19th century France. Also known as ‘Craquerelle du Midi’ it is somewhat like a Bibb in the baby stage, then quickly forms into a stout bunchy little romaine with crisp, crunchy outer leaves and a lovely “densely” filled heart. Although it does not germinate well in the heat, and despite its name, Winter Density holds well in warm weather and doesn’t seem to get bitter. A reliable little soldier, it is one of our favorite year round lettuces.
