Romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. longifolia) is a variety of lettuce that is known for its long, dark green leaves and crisp texture. It is a popular ingredient in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Harvesting romaine lettuce at the right time is important to ensure that it has the best flavor and texture.
Romaine lettuce is typically ready to harvest about 60 to 70 days after planting. The leaves should be a deep green color and have a crisp texture. To harvest romaine lettuce, use a sharp knife to cut the head of lettuce at the base of the plant. Be careful not to damage the leaves.
