Feuille de laitue romaine, or romaine lettuce leaf, is a crisp, elongated green commonly used in salads, wraps, and various dishes worldwide. With origins traced back to Mediterranean cuisine, this leafy vegetable has become a staple in kitchens globally. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, romaine is a nutrient powerhouse promoting healthy vision, a strong immune system, and proper blood clotting. It also contains folate, potassium, and fiber, contributing to heart health and optimal digestion. Low in calories and carbohydrates, romaine is ideal for weight-conscious diets, but its mild flavor and satisfying crunch make it an excellent complement to heavier dishes. While raw consumption is most common, it can also be grilled or sautéed for added variety. Be mindful, however, of its water content, which can dilute flavors when cooked. Fresh, crisp romaine leaves are a wholesome addition to nearly any meal plan.
