Red oak  leaf lettuce should be dark copper red  fading to bright green, crisp, brittle when snapped. The leaves should be finely scalloped, resembling an oak leaf. This lettuce is appreciated for its unique shape and refreshing taste.

 For usage, plan on 6 to 8 servings per pound of well drained lettuce, approximately 74% per head of lettuce is yield. Cases come packed 12 or 24 heads per case.

Avoid lettuce with signs of decay, rust, seed stems, broken ribs, freezing injury or excessive dirt. 

All lettuces should be stored in a very cool environment-34-38 degrees, with cool mists to retain moisture.
