What is this product?

Romaine Lettuce, also known as Cos Lettuce, is a crisp and elongated leafy green loved for its crunchy texture, sweet taste, and refreshing bite. The leaves are firm, upright, and packed with moisture, making them ideal for salads, wraps, and sandwiches. Unlike softer lettuce varieties, Romaine retains its structure even after dressing, which is why it’s the star ingredient in the famous Caesar Salad. Naturally rich in vitamin A, vitamin K, folate, fiber, and antioxidants, Romaine Lettuce supports eye health, heart function, and digestion while keeping meals light and energizing. It’s the perfect choice for those who love healthy, crisp greens with a gourmet touch.

🌍 Origin

Romaine Lettuce has ancient roots in the Mediterranean region, particularly in Egypt and Greece, where it was cultivated for its refreshing flavor and medicinal value. Today, it is grown globally, including in Saudi Arabia, the USA, and Europe, where cool climates help produce firm, vibrant heads of lettuce. Locally grown Romaine is harvested at peak freshness to deliver the perfect balance of crunch and taste.
