What it is
This product contains pre-cut romaine lettuce leaves, ready for immediate use. Romaine is a crisp lettuce variety known for its sturdy leaves and mild, slightly bitter flavor. It is a popular choice for salads and sandwiches, providing a satisfying crunch. The leaves are typically elongated with a distinct rib down the center, offering a good base for a variety of toppings and dressings. This convenient format saves preparation time in the kitchen.

Simply open the package and use the lettuce as desired. It is perfect for quickly assembling a main course salad or adding a fresh element to a sandwich or wrap.

How to keep the rest
