What it is
Romaine juice is the liquid extracted from romaine lettuce. It is made by washing, chopping, and pressing the lettuce leaves to release their natural juices. The juice can then be filtered or strained to remove solids.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use romaine juice primarily as a source of natural flavor and color in food products. It is often found in vegetable juices, smoothies, and salad dressings, where it contributes a fresh, slightly earthy taste and a green hue.
Health notes
Romaine juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals found in romaine lettuce. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar vegetable juices, but specific evaluations for romaine juice alone are not widely published.
Allergen info
Romaine juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
