From the grower:
“Other lettuce is cut and shipped the traditional way. Minnesota Greens is a living plant – with its root system intact. You get maximum freshness and a longer shelf life from every head.
And, just like we do with our beefsteak, vine-on and Baby Boy grape tomatoes, we pick our Minnesota Greens at the height of perfection and rush it to your store as fast as we can – usually within 24 hours. So it’s not only live. It’s locally grown. We think you’re going to find it’s tastier and crisper than brands grown and shipped in from somewhere else.
Because it’s living lettuce. Even after you take it. The roots continue to supply water and nourishment to the plant. You just pick off the leaves, wash them, and eat. And (unlike ordinary lettuce that’s killed when it’s harvested and begins to wilt after just a day or two) Minnesota Greens stays at peak freshness long after you buy it.
And it’s in stores now. Look for Bushel Boy Minnesota Greens Live Lettuce at Twin Cities area grocery stores including Cub Foods, Lunds, Byerly’s, Kowalski’s, Super Target and other independent grocery stores next time you shop.”
