It's a batavia lettuce; its leaves are crinkled and have a wavy edge, they're crispy and sweet. This variety grows fast and tolerates well the heat; it doesn't develop a bitter taste and doesn't bolt easily. It also tolerates the first snowfalls well, making it a polyvalent crop. After harvested the head, the remaining leaves can still be cut and eaten as fresh greens.

Very crunchy lettuce, sent by a friend from France a few years ago. Very easy to go, it seeds to have grown fond of Quebec's climate. We were able to find the following informations on the Internet : "This lettuce surely had the Champagne territory as its cradle since the start of the 19th Century. Then, as decades went by, the name got lost like it happens with so many varieties. It nonetheless survived over time thanks to its undeniable qualities, saved by a woman named Angèle. The variety has kept on existing and spreading around, now under this name. Luckily, Gilbert Vincent, notorious bean collector, was able to conclude, after many years of research that the 'Angèle' lettuce was the same as another variety from Champagne too, 'Alphange à graine noire'." (free translation). The variety is also referenced under its English names in a London publication from the 1870s, The Garden by William Robinson.

Its leaves are tender and filled with omega-3 and antioxidants. It is also emollient, detoxifying, diuretic, and laxative if eaten in large quantities. Chewing on a couple leaves will soothe gum inflammation and mild sore throats.

Native to North America. The strawberry blite is one of those forgotten vegetables that are making a strong comeback to our gardens. It is grown both for its leaves that can be eaten raw in a salad or steamed, and for its red berries. Although, do not be mistaken: despite their appearance and the name, these berries taste more like beets than strawberries. The fruit should be eaten in moderate quantities as the seeds contains some toxic compounds. The fruits were also used by Native Americans to make a red dye.

Tetragon is usually grown for its leaves, which can be added in salads or cooked. Thanks to its ability to withstand difficult climates, this plant grows readily in the wild in China, Reunion Island, and New Zealand. It is also fairly easy to grow in Quebec, but it will behave as an annual since it cannot tolerate frost.
Held up by a round stem, tetragon has a really unique look with its thick leaves and quadrangular fruits. Good source of vitamin B1, B2 and C; the New Zealand spinach is both delicious and nutritious!
