Young, tender lettuce leaves include romaine, butterhead, oak leaf and other varieties. Aside from salads, mixed leaf lettuce can be added to smoothies or wilted in simmered bean and grain dishes. The bright colors provide a beautiful bed for brunch dishes such as eggs, fruits & chicken salad. *All greens are harvested and immediately rinsed in cold water, not washed. Most of the time we lightly rinse out of the bag, dry & serve. Sometimes we eat straight from the bag. We DO NOT USE PESTICIDES. Insect covers and even rinsing & spin drying may occasionally leave a friendly passenger.
