Lactuca Sativa

The Tennis Ball Lettuce is a black-seeded lettuce that was one of the most popular lettuces at the turn of the 20th century.  Tennis Ball lettuces grow in small tight rosettes, and have light green leaves that are silky with a slippery texture.  Traditionally, Tennis Ball Lettuces were pickled in salt brine and eaten as a side dish to many meals.
