Romaine lettuce

Romaine lettuce, also known as cos lettuce, is a firm and crunchy variety. With its slightly sweet flavour, it’s the perfect base for the classic Caesar salad. Thanks to its sturdy, elongated, dark green leaves, it stays crisp even after mixing with dressing.

Smart
tips

Keep the core intact when grilling

Halve or quarter the romaine lettuce lengthways and leave the core attached. This keeps the leaves neatly together while grilling.

Grill cut-side down

Place halved romaine lettuce cut-side down on a hot grill or griddle pan first. This gives it nicely roasted edges while the inner leaves remain crisp.

Growing Method

Our romaine lettuce is grown both outdoors and in greenhouses. Outdoor lettuce grows in open air, while greenhouse lettuce benefits from controlled conditions. These growing methods affect the growth and quality of the lettuce. For example, outdoor lettuce can have more flavour thanks to the natural environment, while greenhouse lettuce is available all year round thanks to the controlled setting.
