Tanimura & Antle red leaf lettuce has an elongated v-shaped frame, with leaves that branch from a single stalk in a loose bunch, rather than forming a tight head.

Shrink-wrapped red leaf, a Tanimura & Antle exclusive, is the premium pack of head leaf lettuce in the marketplace today. It is harvested using our proprietary field-wrap packing process to maintain peak freshness at the optimum point of harvest.

Safe Produce Handling Suggestions

Always wash all fresh produce with cool running water immediately prior to eating or preparing. Tanimura & Antle produce is harvested at the peak of freshness directly from the field.

1. Wash hands with hot soapy water before and after handling fresh produce.
2. Refrigerate produce as soon as possible after purchasing. Refrigerate cut or chopped produce within two hours of peeling or cutting. Once cut, leftover produce should be discarded if left at room temperature for more than two hours.
3. Wash all vegetables with cool tap water immediately before eating. Don't use soap or detergents. Cut away any bruised or damaged areas before eating.
