Lettuce - Romaine (1 ct)

Romaine lettuce, known scientifically as Lactuca sativa var. longifolia, is a type of leafy green in the lettuce family. It derives its name from Rome, Italy, where it was originally cultivated. This lettuce is distinguished by its long, robust leaves and a crunchy texture. It stands out from other lettuce varieties due to its heat tolerance and year-round availability. Romaine is a common ingredient in salads, notably the iconic Caesar salad, and is also suitable for cooking, such as braising or in soups. Enjoyed either fresh or cooked, romaine lettuce offers both versatility and nutrition.
