About Heart of romaine

Heart of Romaine is the tender, crisp core of the romaine lettuce, prized for its mild flavor and crunchy texture. Originating from the Mediterranean region, romaine lettuce has been a staple in cuisines worldwide, particularly in salads like the classic Caesar salad. Packed with nutrients, the heart of romaine is a low-calorie food rich in vitamins A, C, and K, which support immune health, skin integrity, and bone strength. It contains folate, important for cell growth, and a small amount of fiber to aid digestion. Its high water content contributes to hydration and makes it a refreshing choice for meals. Although it’s low in fat and sodium, its nutritional benefits can be compromised if paired with heavy dressings or toppings. Heart of Romaine is versatile, adding a crisp element to wraps, sandwiches, and entrees, while serving as a smart dietary choice for its nutrient density and light profile.
