Fresh lettuce from Deliscious: root-ball lettuce

New approach of lettuce cultivation

Featuring as pioneer in horticulture, Deliscious has developed an improved approach to lettuce cultivation. The idea of growing lettuce plants in gutters at a height of 1 meter above the ground, instead of in the ground, has developed into an innovation within the lettuce  industry.

Lettuce with the root ball still attached exceeds the traditional head of lettuce in terms of freshness, shelf-life and sustainability. Root-ball lettuce is already available in almost every supermarket in the Netherlands.

Latest development: cultivation with LED lighting

Deliscious continues to innovate. The latest development originates from the idea to also take on the propagation of the lettuce plants ourselves. To put this idea into practice, an ideal lighting formula has been developed in association with Phillips. This enables Deliscious to manage the entire production process, from lettuce seedling to lettuce plant. This also means that Deliscious can deliver lettuce with a consistently high quality all year round.
