romaine
Long-leafed lettuce
Romaine is a lettuce with long, crisp leaves that stand upright rather than forming a tight head.
The name comes from French laitue romaine—Roman lettuce—reflecting its path to France via Rome.
Its sturdy leaves and slightly bitter flavor make it the standard for Caesar salads.
I prefer romaine to iceberg.
