Little Gem is a mini-lettuce with elongated leaves that forms a dense, heart-shaped base. The plant possesses a crisp leaf texture and a sweet taste. The variety type is characterized as early-maturing, with the duration of the growing season directly depending on the planting season.
Breeding work for this lettuce type is aimed at increasing resistance to leaf tip burn and premature bolting. The product is in demand in the mini-vegetable segment and is used primarily in fresh form, including in salads and as a side dish for main courses.
