Tear the leaves by hand and add them just before serving to help preserve their tender texture.

Ilema Lettuce pairs well with tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, fresh herbs, cheese, eggs, chicken, turkey, tuna, beans, grains, vinaigrettes, creamy dressings, citrus, and olive oil.

Why hydroponic Ilema Lettuce?

Hydroponic growing uses a water-based nutrient system instead of soil.
This helps keep the crop clean, controlled, and close to the community.
Since we grow locally in Scarborough, travel time from harvest to pickup or delivery is reduced.

Indoor hydroponic growing can also support careful water use because water and nutrients are managed in a controlled system.
For customers, that means fresh local produce grown with care, consistency, and less dependence on long-distance supply chains.

Freshness Tips

Rinse before use
Snip only what you need
Keep refrigerated in the crisper with the roots lightly hydrated and the leaves dry
Store the head in a loose bag or container to help reduce moisture loss
If the leaves soften, soak them in very cold, clean water for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain and dry thoroughly before serving
Use refreshed lettuce soon for the best texture
Use within 5 to 7 days for the best flavour and freshness
