my wife went into sainsburys picked up sweet gem lettuce from Spain instead of little gem. Liked them much
better more leaf less white flesh. Searched everywhere for seeds including Spain cannot find any. Please could
someone tell where I can purchase?

It appears that it is the same as Sucrine lettuce, and there are seeds sold in the UK by Planfor.co.uk

I think Sweet Gem is a trade name for a variety of Little Gem actually known as Sucrine, french for 'sugar'. Have a look at the link below

I can't find anything under sweet gem, all that leads to is ordinary Little Gem seeds, its all a bit confusing.
