    \n
  • Spring<\/strong>This is the peak season for romaine lettuce, with the best quality and flavor. The cooler temperatures and ample rainfall during this period create ideal growing conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Early Summer (June to July):<\/strong>Romaine lettuce is still widely available and fresh, although the warmer temperatures may slightly affect its crispness and flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
