Color: Green leaves with red/bronze tips and edges, fading to creamy yellow/white ribs.
Shape: Spoon-shaped, upright, and slightly ruffled leaves.
Texture: Tender and mild when young, becoming more robustly crunchy towards the ribs as it matures.
Mild, slightly sweet, and neutral, less bold than green romaine due to lower chlorophyll
Salads: Excellent base for mixed greens, pairs well with citrus, avocado, nuts, and cheese.
Wraps: Sturdy enough to use as lettuce cups for fillings like bulgur or tofu.
Garnish/Cooked: Adds color to any dish; can be tossed into soups or stir-fries.
