Lollo Biando Lettuce

Lollo Biando is a loose leaf lettuce, with a bit more bitterness than other lettuces, but without the full bitter tang of frisée lettuce, chicory or endive.

It has soft, ruffled leaves that are a medium-green colour.

Lollo Biando grows 6 to 8 inches (15 cm to 20 cm) wide, and tolerates hot weather well without bolting. It is a “cut and come again” lettuce: you can harvest some of the plant and it will regrow.

Equivalents

1 pound lettuce = 450g = approx 6 cups torn
8 oz lettuce = 225g = approx 3 cups torn
2 oz shredded lettuce = 50g = 1 cup
8 oz shredded lettuce = 200g = 4 cups

Language Notes

You will also see it spelt “Lolla Bianda.”
