Earthbound Farm Organic Baby Romaine Lettuce, 85g
What it is
This is a package of tender, young romaine lettuce leaves. The leaves are harvested when they are small and delicate, offering a milder flavor and a crisp, succulent texture. It is grown organically, meaning it is cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The convenient size makes it ideal for quick meal preparations.
How people cook with it
Baby romaine is a versatile green that can be used in many dishes. Its delicate nature makes it suitable for both raw and lightly cooked applications.
- Salads
- Wraps
- Garnishes
- Lightly wilted side dishes
To prepare, simply open the bag and gently rinse the leaves under cool water. Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean towel or use a salad spinner. For salads, toss with your favorite dressing and other ingredients. You can also layer the leaves into sandwiches or wraps for a fresh crunch. For a warm dish, briefly sauté the leaves in a pan with a little olive oil and garlic until just wilted.
How it differs from similar foods
Baby romaine differs from mature romaine by its smaller size and more tender, less bitter leaves. The inner leaves are typically lighter in color and have a softer crunch compared to the tougher outer leaves of a full-sized head.

Home cooks looking for a convenient and fresh salad base will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
