Fristina is great lettuce for adding "loft" to salads. A lot of chefs look to loft because it gives them a large volume per pound, but smart chefs know it can be so much more than that. Lofty lettuces can lift. Few things are more sad than seeing a beautiful piece of meat bottoming out on top of flat, wilted butter lettuce. Lofty lettuces also have lots of surface area for holding dressing and perfect nooks and crannies for accommodating smaller salad ingredients onto your fork. It's not our shining star for flavor, but it's the best tasty lofty lettuce we've tried so far, and in some applications that really matter.
