Lettuce (Romaine)

Romaine lettuce is prized for its distinctive long, upright leaves with a crisp, firm central rib and satisfying crunch. It is the signature green of the Caesar salad and a staple of both retail and food service markets worldwide. Watania Farms produces romaine hydroponically, delivering heads with consistent sizing, vibrant colour, and extended post-harvest shelf life for export distribution.

How We Grow It

Growing
Information

Romaine lettuce requires 70–80 days from seeding to mature head formation. In our hydroponic systems, we deliver consistent hydration and nutrition, resulting in compact, well-formed heads with superior crunch and extended shelf life compared to field-grown alternatives.

Usage Ideas

Romaine is remarkably versatile — from classic Caesar salads to grilled preparations and wraps, its structure holds up to bold flavours and heat.

Caesar Salad

The classic application — tear leaves, toss with Caesar dressing, croutons, and parmesan for an enduring classic.

Grilled Romaine

Halve lengthwise, brush with olive oil, and grill on high heat for 2 minutes per side. Top with dressing and parmesan.

Lettuce Wraps

Use large romaine leaves as a low-carb wrap substitute filled with chicken, vegetables, or tofu.

Buddha Bowls

Use as the base for grain bowls alongside roasted vegetables, legumes, and tahini dressing.
