Batavia

530000

Batavia is a curly-leaf lettuce variety, carefully selected by Le Delas for the compactness of its head and the crispness of its leaves. Recognisable by its serrated edges and pale green colour, it offers a texture that is both tender and crunchy, and holds up particularly well when dressed. Its mild, slightly sweet flavour makes it a versatile base for raw vegetable dishes, essential for daily preparation in restaurants and brasseries. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Cold cuisine and bistronomy: It provides the ideal base for substantial mixed salads and premium burger toppings thanks to its good structural integrity. Its moderate heat resistance allows it to be placed under warm elements without wilting immediately. ► Presentation and volume: Its crinkled leaves naturally add texture and movement to plate presentations, allowing serving dishes to be generously garnished with a controlled quantity of product. ► Preparation: To ensure maximum freshness, it is advisable to trim the base of the core and wash the leaves in clear water with lemon juice or vinegar. Thoroughly drying the leaves is essential to ensure that vinaigrettes and emulsified sauces adhere perfectly to the leaf. ► Storage: Store in a positive-temperature cold room, ideally in a vegetable drawer to maintain optimal humidity. To extend its shelf life after receipt, it can be stored in an airtight container with a damp cloth. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
