Red ti leaves are medium to large in size and are narrow, lanceolate, or elliptical in shape. The glossy, smooth leaves range in color from bright pink to deep burgundy and may have patches of orange and yellow. The color of most red varieties will become more intense when exposed to sunshine, taking on a darker and more vibrant hue. Red ti leaves also have a prominent, central rib on the underside that runs the length of the leaf. When used as a wrapper in cooked preparations, Red ti leaves impart a mild, grassy flavor.
