Artisan Lettuce

Tanimura & Antle Artisan Lettuce features a curated blend of unique lettuce varieties known for their vibrant colors, varied leaf shapes, and tender textures. From soft greens to deep reds, each head brings visual interest along with a mild, fresh flavor that works beautifully in salads, sandwiches, and composed plates. Carefully grown and harvested for consistency, our artisan lettuce delivers reliable freshness, balanced texture, and standout presentation. Its natural variety and refined look make it an easy way to elevate everyday meals while maintaining the quality and dependability you expect from premium produce.

Sustainably Grown

Artisan lettuce grows as individual heads with naturally varied leaf shapes and colors that develop as the plants mature in the field.

Fresher Than The Rest

Artisan Lettuce offers a fresh, flexible alternative to bagged greens – often lasting longer in the fridge and helping minimize food waste.

Surprisingly Nutritious

Artisan lettuce provides folate and Vitamin K, contributing to balanced, nutrient‑forward meals.

How It’s Grown

Artisan Lettuce thrives in cool, mild growing conditions that support steady growth and vibrant leaf development. Our growers carefully plant each unique variety side by side, managing irrigation, soil nutrition, and spacing to promote strong roots, full heads, and consistent quality across the field. Fields are monitored daily, and Artisan Lettuce is harvested at peak maturity to ensure optimal color, texture, and freshness. After harvest, the product is cooled promptly to help preserve crispness and leaf integrity throughout handling and distribution. This attentive growing approach helps deliver reliable quality and a consistently premium product from field to store.

Tips & Tricks

How to Store:

  • Store Artisan Lettuce in its proprietary clamshell in the refrigerator for best freshness and extended shelf life.

Tips for Preparation:

  • Separate leaves from the heads you’d like to use, rinse gently under cold water, and pat dry or spin lightly.
  • Tear leaves by hand rather than cutting to help maintain freshness and appearance.

How To Use:

  • Because Artisan Lettuce is a whole‑head product, it offers exceptional flexibility.
  • Use as a base for vibrant salads, layer into sandwiches or wraps for color and soft crunch, or add to grain bowls just before serving for freshness.
  • Pair with light vinaigrettes to let the natural flavor and texture shine.
