Romaine Lettuce
Romaine lettuce, also known as Lactuca sativa var. Longifolia, is a dark green leafy vegetable that forms a head with strong leaves with firm ribs under the center. Unlike Iceberg Lettuces, Romaine is more nutrition dense and has a slightly bitter but fresh and mild taste, making it staple for Caesar salads and wraps. It grows well in cooler climates and is often cut in the early stages of optimal tenderness.
