Pre-Washed Lettuce Leaves » Lettuce Help!
When was the last time you opened a box of produce and realized zero waste? It’s probable if the box contained Mills Family Farm Wholeaves® Lettuce.
Todd Fisher is the chef/owner of Hullaballo, an upscale eatery in Salinas, California and Chicken
Scratch Flats, a casual salad concept. He praises Mills Family Farm Wholeaves® for helping him “save labor dollars with pre-washed and dried lettuce.”
Along with zero waste, Chef Fisher notes that Wholeaves® have a longer shelf life and greatly
reduce needed preparation. In addition to labor savings, the consistency keeps his customers happy.
Founded in 1958 by Basil Mills, Mills Family Farms—a privately owned company—specializes in high-quality produce by overseeing every step from field to shelf. The Wholeaves® lettuce is hand-picked, washed with an approved USDA food sanitizer, sorted by size and hand packed.
It yields “the best plate presentation every time”, says Chef Fisher. He uses the Wholeaves® Cascade Mix, made up of young and tender baby romaine, baby greens and radicchio.
Additionally, Mills Family Farms now offers celery as part of the Wholeaves® line, which includes Romaine 6”–12” leaves, Romaine Hearts, Red Leaf 6”–12”, Green Leaf 6”–12”, and Cascade mix.—KB
