Baby Breen Romaine (red&green)

Description

Breen is a red with somw green in it. Baby Red Romain lettuce distinguishes itself from Green Romaine not only in color but texture and flavor. Baby Red Romaine leaves grow erectly and tightly to form an elongated spoon shape. The leaves have rich red wine and bronze tones while the inner ribs fade to a creamy yellow. Baby Red Romaine's blanched heart becomes translucent white at its core. The outer leaves are tender and mild in contrast with the center leaves which are robustly crunchy and succulent. The flavor is milder than that of Green Romaine, a characteristic that is due to the leaves lacking the same levels of chlorophyll, whose presence creates bolder flavors in Green Romaine.
Red Romaine lettuce is a perfect stand alone lettuce. It can also be added to salad mixes for texture and visual appeal. It can replace the ubiquitous Iceberg lettuce atop burgers and sandwiches. It also withstands high heat which makes it suitable for grilling and adding to soups and stir fries. Complimentary ingredients include olive oil, citrus, vinegar, cream-based dressings, chiles, garlic, apples, pears, aged and strong cheeses, olives, grilled steak, smoked fish and chicken, bacon, dried fruit and nuts.
