What it is

Red and Green Romaine refers to varieties of romaine lettuce that have red or reddish-purple coloration in addition to the typical green leaves. These varieties are grown for their visual appeal and slightly different flavor profiles, often with a milder or sweeter taste than standard green romaine.

Why it's used

Red and Green Romaine is primarily used as a fresh ingredient in salads, salad mixes, and as a decorative leafy green in sandwiches and wraps. Its vibrant color adds visual interest to pre-packaged produce, particularly in spring mixes and specialty salad blends.

Health notes

Romaine lettuce is a source of vitamins A and K, and folate. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists romaine lettuce as a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food. There are no specific health concerns associated with the consumption of red and green romaine lettuce at typical dietary levels. International bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated many food additives, but romaine lettuce itself is not typically evaluated in this context as it is a whole food.

Allergen info

Romaine lettuce is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
