Bibb is a type of lettuce known for its tender leaves and mild flavor. Often referred to as Butterhead lettuce, it has a soft, buttery texture that makes it popular in salads and sandwiches. Bibb lettuce is typically green, with a slightly darker outer leaf and a lighter inner heart. This lettuce variety is rich in vitamins A and K, making it a nutritious addition to meals. Bibb lettuce is usually grown in cooler climates and is harvested when the heads are small and compact. It is often enjoyed fresh, as cooking can diminish its delicate texture.
