History

An imaginary aphrodisiac and sleep inducer

Lettuce (Lactuca Sativa) was cultivated by the ancient Egyptians for its beneficial effects. The sprouted lettuce was even dedicated to the ancient Egyptian fertility god Min, as a phallic symbol and imaginary aphrodisiac.

Lettuce was also known in ancient Greece, where doctors used it as a sleep inducer. It also found its place in ancient Rome, from where it spread throughout Europe. It was subsequently brought to the American continent by Christopher Columbus.

Origin: Egypt

Lettuce originally grows in Asia, where most exports are made. It is an annual, 20–30 cm tall plant that is grown for its succulent salad leaves and oil-rich seeds. These are packed with a wealth of vitamins and minerals.
