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.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
