Is Romaine Lettuce Healthy?

When you think of green leafy vegetables, romaine lettuce may not top your list (hello, spinach and kale) but it is indeed part of this category. And like other leafy greens, it too offers a wealth of nutrients, including vitamins A and K and folate. It’s also rich in antioxidants, which, together with the other nutrients, can help to reduce inflammation and support bone, skin and heart health.

Tips from the Test Kitchen

What’s the Difference Between Grape and Cherry Tomatoes?

Grape tomatoes have the shape of a grape, whereas cherry tomatoes are round. Grape tomatoes are not as sweet as cherry tomatoes, and they have a thicker skin with a meatier texture, which makes them perfect for chunkier sauces for pasta and pizza. Cherry tomatoes can also be used for sauces and are interchangeable in recipes calling for grape tomatoes, but you’ll get slightly different results. One thing cherry tomatoes have over grape tomatoes is that they can be easily stuffed to make fabulous appetizers.
