Product Description

Red Romaine and Parris Island COS Romaine are two popular varieties of romaine lettuce prized for their crisp texture and nutritional value. Red Romaine features striking deep red to burgundy leaves with a slightly sweeter, milder flavor than green varieties, making it ideal for colorful salads, wraps, and garnishes; it grows upright with loose heads and thrives in cooler climates. In contrast, Parris Island COS, named after the South Carolina island where it was developed by Clemson Uni, is a classic green romaine with tall, narrow heads, crunchy midribs, and a slightly nutty taste; it is highly disease-resistant, heat-tolerant, and often used in Caesar salads due to its sturdy structure and uniform growth. Both are rich in vitamins A, K, and folate, but Red Romaine offers additional antioxidants from its anthocyanins, while Parris Island COS is favored by commercial growers for its reliability and bolt resistance.
