Refreshingly crisp as a base in everyday salads and sturdy enough to hold up to heat for grilling or sautéing—Romaine hearts are the definition of versatile. The long green leaves stay crunchy in a salad and stand up to dressing without quickly wilting.
Handling Tips
The best way to store heads of lettuce is to remove any damaged or wilted outer leaves, then wrap in paper towels. Store in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator until ready to use.
