Romaine lettuce, also known as cos lettuce, is a heat-tolerant green with sturdy, dark green leaves. It’s a favorite in the U.S., making up about 30% of lettuce consumption, and is commonly used in Caesar salads, chop salads, and wedge salads. Known for its crisp texture and mild, sweet flavor, Romaine is versatile and can be sold as whole heads or “hearts,” with the taste and texture varying by variety and maturity.
