STORY - Milestone in lettuce history The Early Years 1950 | 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐢𝐣𝐤 𝐙𝐰𝐚𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 Rijk Zwaan officially registered its first lettuce variety, Regina, in 1953. It was a major turning point, because the variety produced a nice head of lettuce in the greenhouse even on shorter days. “So growers were able to cultivate full, attractive lettuces rather than sad-looking ones all through the winter,” says Henk van Lenteren. The variety laid the basis for year-round lettuce cultivation, which to this day ensures that consumers can enjoy fresh lettuce every day.
