Lettuce

Product Overview:
Lettuce is the essential cooling element for modern diets. Sourced from growers who prioritize early-morning harvests to lock in maximum moisture, our lettuce is chosen for its "springy" texture and lack of bitterness. Whether you are using the broad leaves of Iceberg for a classic crunch, or the tender leaves of Romaine and Butterhead, our selection ensures a grit-free, garden-fresh experience. It is a natural palate cleanser, making it the perfect partner for bold dressings, grilled proteins, and spicy toppings.

Key Features:

Superior "Snap" & Crunch: Selected for high turgor pressure in the ribs, ensuring the leaves don't go limp under the weight of dressings.

Mild & Versatile Flavor: A clean, neutral profile that allows the flavors of your other ingredients to shine.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every head is hand-inspected to ensure the core is firm and the leaves are bright green with no "rusting" or brown edges (SQA Checked).

High-Volume, Low-Calorie: Provides a satisfying "full" feeling in meals without adding significant calories.
