Romaine lettuce, also known as cos lettuce, is a type of lettuce characterised by its upright, elongated leaves with firm ribs. It's a hardy variety, known for its heat tolerance and ability to maintain a crisp texture even in less-than-ideal conditions.
- Compact, uniform heads of romaine are particularly attractive for both field and protected cultivation.
- Higher planting densities allow for optimised land use.
- The upright growth habit facilitates mechanical harvesting and reduces soil contact, resulting in cleaner produce and lower disease pressure.
- Most romaine varieties show good resistance to bolting and tip burn, extending the harvest window and reducing crop losses.
- It's convenient size and excellent shelf life is perfect for supermarkets and retailers.
