Red Romaine Lettuce (Marvel)
Also known as the Marvel cultivar, this red romaine lettuce stands out for its upright, compact habit, crisp smooth ribs tinged with wine-red, and excellent resistance to bolting during hot weather.
The Red Romaine Lettuce Plant
It belongs to the longifolia group of lettuces (Lactuca sativa, family Asteraceae), with an elongated upright head and fleshy central ribs; the base green colour is enriched with decorative wine-red shading.
How to Sow Red Romaine Lettuce
Sow from February to September, in a protected seedbed during colder months or directly in the field in spring and summer, transplanting after about 4 weeks.
How to Grow Red Romaine Lettuce
A hardy, adaptable crop that tolerates both spring and autumn transplanting as well as summer sowing; it prefers cool, well-drained soils with regular watering for even head development.
Tips for Red Romaine Lettuce
Thanks to its hardiness and resistance to overmaturity, it offers wide harvest flexibility even during summer, keeping the voluminous, well-formed head crisp and high quality.
Diseases and Pests of Red Romaine Lettuce
It shows good natural resistance to downy mildew (Bremia), a common fungus in vegetable crops; it is still worth monitoring aphids and slugs, especially in the young plant stage.
Uses and Curiosities of Red Romaine Lettuce
Lettuces were already known to the ancient Egyptians and grown by the Romans since the time of Pliny; today the red variant enriches mixed salads with cherry tomatoes and sweetcorn, adding colour and crunch.
Properties of Red Romaine Lettuce
Red-leaved lettuces are very low in calories and rich in carotenoids, iron, potassium and vitamins A, B2 and C; their fibre content helps support healthy digestion.
Nutritional Values of Red Romaine Lettuce
Per 100 grams, red romaine lettuce provides about 18 kcal, 1.3 g protein, 2.5 g carbohydrates, 0.2 g fat and 1.7 g fibre, with a good content of potassium and vitamin A.
