Red Romaine lettuce, also known as Red Cos, is a vibrant variety of romaine lettuce characterized by its elongated, crisp leaves that have a deep red to burgundy color, especially at the tips. Originating from the Mediterranean region, similar to its green counterpart, it has been cultivated for centuries for its hardiness and nutritional value. Red Romaine offers a slightly bitter, robust flavor that contrasts beautifully with its sweet and tender heart, making it a popular choice for salads, wraps, and as a garnish. Its high levels of vitamins A and K, along with antioxidants, add nutritional depth, making Red Romaine not just a feast for the eyes but also for health-conscious diners.
