Black Seeded Simpson lettuce is a prolific and popular leaf lettuce variety known for its tender, flavorful leaves that form loose, open heads. Originating from the United States, it was introduced in 1850 by Peter Henderson & Co and quickly became favored for its ease of growth and delightful texture. This lettuce features deeply lobed, light green leaves with red-tinged edges, providing not only a crisp, mild flavor but also an attractive, delicate appearance. Its seeds are black, explaining its name, and it's celebrated for its cut-and-come-again harvesting capability, making it a staple in both home gardens and commercial cultivation for fresh, continuous greens.
