The difference between romaine lettuce and regular lettuce

1. Different varieties

Romaine lettuce is a type of Western lettuce, a variety that came from the West. It is a kind of lettuce and tastes similar to ordinary lettuce, with no difference, but there is a difference in appearance.

Ordinary lettuce is the most common in our daily life. It is rich in nutritional value and is closely related to the former, but it is a different variety.

2. Different leaves

The leaves of iceberg lettuce are wrapped up, with wrinkles around the edges, but they are not very obvious. The lower part is wrapped with flat leaves, and the leaves are arranged densely and neatly.

The leaves of ordinary lettuce spread outward, have more wrinkles, wavy edges, and are arranged relatively loosely. The shapes of individual leaves are also diverse, some are flat and some are wrinkled.

3. Different shapes

The shape of the head lettuce is similar to its name, and can be conical, round, oblate, cylindrical, etc. It is generally spherical and looks relatively regular.

Ordinary lettuce has an irregular shape and no fixed shape. The leaves are scattered around, making it look a little messy.
