Oak leaf lettuce is a type of leafy green that is named for its distinctive, lobed leaves that resemble the shape of an oak leaf. It has a tender texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavour.
The taste of oak leaf lettuce is often compared to that of butter lettuce or other mild lettuce varieties. Its leaves are tender and slightly crunchy, with a delicate texture that makes it a popular choice for salads and sandwiches. Oak leaf lettuce is also often used as a garnish for dishes like soups or stews, as its lobed leaves add a decorative touch to the plate.
