The Kumak iceberg lettuce is a tremendous cultivar that produces large, compact heads that take on bright green colour. The seeds presented here are intended to be sown in unheated greenhouses (tunnels) and in the open field. The laterally elliptic heads consist of bubbly leaves that delight with their texture and taste. The juicy iceberg lettuce of this variety develops heads at the similar time. Low tendency to shooting flowering stalks is yet another advantage of this cultivar.
Due to its excellent taste, the Kumak iceberg lettuce is recommended for direct consumption in salads or as a crunchy addition to sandwiches. The appetizingly looking leaves are perfect for garnishing cold plates with meat, cheese or appetizers. The crispy Kumak lettuce is not only a great looking, delicious vegetable, but it also brings plenty of vitamins and minerals to the table. The green, firm leaves contain vitamins A and C, as well as B vitamins. The increased potassium and iron content will enrich your daily fare with the elements that are essential for your well being.
We hereby offer seeds on a tape. This is a dependable and quick way to set up a vegetable bed. The premium quality seeds were placed on a water-soluble tape. The distances between the single seeds have been optimized during the production. You do not have to thin or prick out the seedlings. You only need to place the tape 1 to 3 cm deep in the soil, press it gently and water abundantly. Using seed tapes increases work comfort and reduces the time needed for gardening.
Place the seed tapes in the ground in early spring, in March and April. Keep the tapes 30-40 × 20-25 cm apart. The lettuce heads can be harvested from April to July.

Where do our seeds come from?

Exclusion of the middlemen from the whole process not only makes it possible for us to avoid sending out-of-date seeds that might have been lying too long on a warehouse shelf, but also ensures the most attractive price for top quality products.
The quality control process
All our seeds must pass a four-stage quality control process.
Stage one begins with a careful selection of the suppliers. Than we proceed with controlling their crops, foreign producers are not excluded from the quality control process. Plants are checked at every stage of their development: when they start to grow, during blooming and when they start bearing fruit (seeds). At this stage the most important thing is to ensure proper spacing of the plants. Thanks to that obtaining the desired morphological characteristics of each particular species or variety, such as colour, height and shape, can be ensured.
Stage two consists of a detailed verification tests in laboratory conditions. With the use of the highest quality equipment by the highly qualified staff, our suppliers perform more than 30 000 quality checks annually. The seeds that do not meet our requirements are subject to technological refining processes, including drying, cleaning, upgrading and testing again.
Stage three starts with sowing seeds in selected control plots. That way we obtain valuable, exact information concerning their germination that must be maintained at an appropriate level. Simultaneously, the varietal identity of each species is checked at this stage.
Stage four takes place in our warehouses and consists of eliminating seeds that have been stored for too long on our shelves and replacing them with new batches. Each package is stamped with a unique batch number and also with the sow-by-date.
All four stages combined allow us to state with confidence that the seeds we deliver comply with the highest standards and have completed all required control stages with flying colours.
