Once again, Rick Antle of Tanimura and Antle, shows up to PMA Fresh Summit arms-full of green goodness.
First up to bat is the ubiquitous Artisan® Lettuce. Artisan® Lettuce in case you haven't seen it in your local grocery store is a series of three lettuces, including a red and a green leaf of each variety. Together the blend offers a product which combines a selection harvested for its color, texture and taste.
After that, Rick proudly displays his Artisan® Romaine hearts. Like two peas in a pod, the romaine hearts come displayed and guarded in a protective clam shell package. The ensemble has been designed to make preparation of tasty recipes easier and guaranteed to grand slam as the leaves are easily removed to grill, skewer, scoop or accentuate just about anything a cook could compliment them with. As Rick states, "they have a unique shape and a small rib size," indicating that they have the potential to make more than an adequate substitute for chips or taco shells.
Last but not least, Artisan® Boston lettuce alleviates the shrink factor commonly associated with Boston Leaf lettuce by using the protective clam shell found on other Tanimura and Antle products. The research and development that went into maintaining the shelf life of other Artisan® lettuces is applied to this variety with exceptional results making it a welcomed addition to their family line.
