Irwindale, Calif. – Ready Pac Foods, Inc. has expanded upon a recent consumer trend, introducing their own “What’s What” guide to lettuce types. With the recent influx of specialty grains, unique grape varietals and craft micro-brews, it has become increasingly clear that the demand for defined flavor varieties is palpable. In addition to varietal information, the Fresh Cut Salad Guide is accompanied by healthy and inspiring recipes fit for the salad connoisseur – but convenient enough for the hungry novice in a time crunch.
This comprehensive tutorial guides the consumer through over 20 different types of lettuce, identifying colors, flavors and textures that make each leaf unique. The guide continues by advising on optimal lettuce pairings to complement desired recipes and meal occasions.
