What is Lettuce romaine heart?
Romaine hearts, the trimmed inner cores of romaine with the tough dark outer leaves removed. Smaller, sweeter, crunchier and almost entirely usable yield.
Go-to for plated Caesars and grilled-heart presentations in NYC restaurants, little gem-style composed salads, and lettuce cups; the higher usable yield justifies the price over whole romaine.

Why the number moves
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on lettuce romaine heart can shift week to week.
Across the year the trend has been up (up about 48% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Typically packed 3 hearts per sleeve, multiple sleeves per case; near-zero trim loss makes them cheaper than they look per portion. Check for crisp, pale-green packed hearts with no slime in the bag.
