Coastline Launches Leaf-ez Lil Gem Hearts

Coastline a grower shipper of fresh vegetables in Salinas, CA launched Leaf•ez® Lil Gem Hearts, a petite blend of romaine and butter lettuce with a sweet, crunchy delicious flavor. Leaf•ez® is now available in a 6×3 retail bag, 8×2 retail bag and 24 count liner.

The mini heads make portion planning and upscale serving options simple. One small head is sized perfectly for a single serving. A medium size head is usually just right for two. They make an elegant plated salad and are fun to serve quartered or halved with a buttermilk blue cheese or low cal dressing.

Leaf•ez® is a great way to graduate your customers to an appealing higher-end, higher margin item in your produce department or foodservice menu. Ready to eat and serve after just minutes of preparing and they are pre-portioned to improve yield and reduce waste. In addition to the Lil Gem Hearts, Coastline is working on adding other varieties to the Leaf•ez® line.
