High yields and a healthy appearance have helped to make this our most popular baby leaf green Romaine ever. The leaves have an upright growth habit, are lightly cupped and feature a strong mid-rib – all of which explains why processors find this lettuce so easy to harvest. The medium-green color and smooth texture have lasting consumer appeal, thanks to an inherently long shelf-life. Combine all those attributes with consistently high yields, and you can see why this lettuce is so well-liked.
