Bibb lettuce is a small, tender butterhead lettuce with loosely cupped, pale green leaves. Flavor is mild and slightly sweet, with silky leaves that bruise easily; it excels in delicate salads, lettuce cups, and as a soft bed for proteins. Sold as living heads or trimmed heads, often with the root attached to retain freshness.
Developed in 19th-century Kentucky by John Bibb, this butterhead type spread through American markets and restaurant kitchens. It is now grown widely in temperate regions, with protected cultivation supporting consistent supply.
