We all love that farm-fresh flavor when it comes to produce, but unless you actually live on a farm, it’s not something you can enjoy that often. Sure you could go buy seeds and hope to grow some veggies on your own, but not all of us have the time or that calling. This is even truer if you live in an apartment or a climate not suited to personal backyard gardens. Lettuce is one of those items that no only can be difficult to grow but can also be difficult to eat before it spoils in the fridge. The solution? Pete’s Living Greens.
Pete’s Living Greens are different from other brands of lettuce and leaf vegetables in that each head of lettuce still has the roots attached. This keeps the lettuce fresher for longer so you won’t find yourself with a bag of mushy greens within three days. You simply pull off the leaves you need and place the head of lettuce back in the container in your fridge. You won’t feel like you’ve wasted money just a couple of days after buying groceries.
All the Greens You Could Want
There are multiple varieties of lettuce provided by Pete’s, including Butter Lettuce, Red Butter Lettuce, Upland Cress, Lollo Rossa, Lollo Bionda, and Red Oak Leaf. Each package has the roots attached, so you can have tasty, fresh greens longer than usual. They’re all non-GMO, too, so you know you’re getting high-quality greens that are good for you.
Recycle the Roots
Pete's Living Lettuce is good for your body and even better for the environment! When you’re at the end of your head of lettuce, you can even recycle the roots. Take them to a local community garden where volunteers can replant the roots and grow their own heads of lettuce. Alternatively, the roots make for easy composting, so even if you don't grow more lettuce, they can help provide nutrition to other plants.
More Time, More Options
When you have lettuce that will last for days and days, you have more options with your meals. With a head of Pete’s Living Lettuce in your fridge, you can add fresh lettuce to your sandwiches, burgers, and wraps. Plus, you can quickly whip up a tasty salad and even use the large leaves as the wrapping in your homemade wraps.
Pete’s Living Lettuce can be purchased at Trader Joe’s, Kroger, Sprouts, Ralph’s, Whole Foods and more.
