Romaine Lettuce, a favorite in salads and sandwiches, radiates a vibrant green hue with elongated, sturdy leaves that have a distinctive rib running down their center. Its crisp texture and slightly bitter flavor profile make it an essential component of the classic Caesar salad. This lettuce variety forms a loose, elongated head and is more heat tolerant than other types, hence its frequent use in culinary creations from warm climates. Romaine Lettuce is rich in vitamins A and K, folate, and molybdenum, making it not only a crunchy, refreshing addition to meals but also a beneficial choice for maintaining a balanced diet.
Keep damp in air tight container or bag and store in crisper drawer. Do not wash until ready to eat.
