About Cos lettuce
Cos lettuce, often called Romaine lettuce, is a crisp, elongated variety of lettuce that has been cultivated for centuries, with origins traced to the Mediterranean region. Its sturdy leaves and mild, slightly bitter flavor make it a versatile ingredient in many cuisines, particularly in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, as well as the base for the classic Caesar salad. Cos lettuce is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and potassium, supporting immunity, bone health, and heart function. Its high water content aids hydration and promotes healthy digestion. Unlike some salad greens, its slightly thicker texture provides a satisfying crunch, making it a favorite in both raw and cooked preparations. With virtually no fat or sugar, Cos lettuce is a healthy choice, though its nutritional benefits can be impacted by calorie-heavy dressings or toppings.
