In The Records
Lollo Bionda lettuce has a long history, believed to have been cultivated by the ancient Egyptians. It was valued for both its medicinal properties and as an aphrodisiac. The leaves and sap were often used to prepare a concoction with juniper berries, beef, and frankincense, which was believed to help alleviate symptoms of stomach aches.
