How it's used
This term is a direct loan translation used in supermarkets and restaurants to distinguish this specific variety from standard leafy lettuce. It is often associated with Western-style salads like Caesar salad rather than traditional Chinese stir-fry dishes. You will frequently see it labeled this way on packaging in local grocery stores.
