Ingredient Information

Lettuce, Romaine

The long crisp leaves with crunchy spines make for perfect salads. The slightly bitter lettuce is also known as Cos lettuce
probably because it originated on the Aegean island of Cos.

Look for larger heads as the outer leaves are usually tougher and can be bruised. Use these for sandwiches and save the delicate light yellow-green leaves at the heart for your best salads.
