About Cogollos

Cogollos, also known as baby gem lettuce, are small, tightly packed heads of Romaine lettuce prized in Mediterranean and Spanish cuisines for their crisp texture and delicate flavor. These bite-sized greens are rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin K, folate, and dietary fiber, all of which contribute to healthy digestion, strong immune function, and bone strength. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, cogollos are a versatile addition to salads, appetizers, or grilled dishes. Their compact structure makes them ideal for pairing with robust dressings or toppings, such as olive oil, garlic, anchovies, or cheese. While naturally healthy, their nutritional profile can be impacted by heavy sauces or high-sodium additions in certain recipes. Whether served raw or slightly cooked, cogollos offer a nutritious and refreshing choice for those seeking a wholesome addition to their meals.
