Sucrine : From green salads, Sucrine is a Roman type variety which is very small in size but certainly not in taste. Its wavy, tight and fleshy leaves, forming a very dense heart, are particularly tasty. On the palate, they express a slightly sweet taste (hence its name) supported by a nutty note. A pure delight!
