Romaine lettuce
Also called: Khas (Romaine) (Soomaali) · Laitue romaine (Français) · خس روماني (العربية)
What to look for
Choose heads with crisp, bright green leaves and a pale, fresh-looking base. Brown edges, limp outer leaves or a rusty cut end mean it’s been sitting. Romaine stays crunchiest; softer leaf lettuces suit wraps.
