Romaine hearts are the tender, crunchy centers of romaine lettuce, prized for their mild flavor and crisp texture. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, romaine has been a staple in salads and wraps for centuries, most famously in the Caesar salad. Packed with nutrients, romaine hearts are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, which support vision, immunity, and bone health. They are also low in calories and high in water content, making them a hydrating and weight-friendly choice. Additionally, they contain folate, an important nutrient for cell function and development. While largely healthy, their low fiber content compared to whole romaine leaves might be less beneficial for digestion. Versatile and refreshing, romaine hearts lend themselves beautifully to both raw and grilled preparations, adding crunch and nutrition to a variety of dishes.
