Description
Romaine is the American term for this long leafed lettuce, also called cos or cos lettuce. It is said to have originated on the Greek island of Cos (Kos), off the coast of Turkey in the Aegean Sea. Romaine has been cultivated and eaten cooked or raw for almost 5,000 years and may very well be the oldest form of cultivated lettuce. Egyptian tombs reveal paintings of lettuce with long, pointed leaves, resembling romaine. The romaine name evolved from a time when it was called Roman lettuce due to the Romans' belief in its healthful and healing properties.
