Today, there are four basic types of lettuce: butterhead, iceberg, loose leaf, and romaine. You are likely to find all of these in the produce sections of most supermarkets. Butterhead lettuce: This type includes Boston and Bibb lettuces, which are characterized by a loose head and grass-green leaves. Both have a soft âbutteryâ texture and a sweet, mild flavor. A head of Boston lettuce resembles a flowering rose. Bibb lettuceâalso called limestoneâforms a smaller, cup-shaped head.
