Lettuce Romaine

Lettuce Romaine, also known simply as Romaine or Cos lettuce, is a type of lettuce that is popular for its crisp texture and slightly bitter taste. It is a staple in salads and is often used in sandwiches and wraps.

Romaine lettuce has long, narrow leaves that are dark green in colour, with a mild flavour that pairs well with a variety of dressings and toppings. It is rich in nutrients, providing a good source of vitamins A and K, as well as folate and fibre.

When selecting Romaine lettuce at the grocery store, look for heads that are firm and without blemishes. Store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness, and wash thoroughly before consuming.

Whether used in a classic Caesar salad or as a crunchy addition to a sandwich, Romaine lettuce adds a refreshing and nutritious element to any dish.
