Description
Ethiopia lettuce (Lactuca saliva) grows in many parts of Ethiopia including the environs of Addis Ababa. The crop thrives well in relatively dry areas and also thrives in south east Asia. It differs from the L serriola species that is common in temperate regions of the world like Europe. The latter grows in wintry conditions under special conditioning. The best temperatures for the Ethiopia variety is 7° Celsius though the best average is below 24 ° Celsius.
Lettuce has grown in neighboring Egypt for nearly four millennia, starting 2680 B.C. It may have passed into Ethiopia through trade with the northern country. Around the world, it is cultivated in mainly Europe and Asia.
