Salad Time Romaine Lettuce
• Romaine lettuce is a variety of lettuce that grows in a tall head of sturdy dark green leaves with firm ribs down their centers.
• Unlike most lettuces, it is tolerant of heat.
• In North America, romaine is sold as whole heads or as "hearts" that have had the outer leaves removed and are often packaged together.
• It is more than just a tasty leaf that adds color and crunch to a salad.
• It also provides vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
