This is not only our most popular red Romaine, many growers feel it’s one of the best true Cos available anywhere. Slightly savoyed and cupped, the leaves have good texture and a strong, crunchy midrib. However, it’s the true Romaine shape and glossy, cherry-red coloring that really captures the attention of consumers – while the neutral flavor keeps them coming back for more.
