Pesticide-Free Crispy Lettuce

Bowery Farming's Crispy Leaf Lettuce Boasts a Hydrating Crunch

— June 8, 2020 — Lifestyle
Bowery Farming is introducing Crispy Leaf Lettuce as a "reinvigorated" version of iceberg lettuce. According to the indoor farming company, the leafy green boasts a "bold, high-chroma green color and satisfying, hydrating crunch." The product is grown in Kearny, New Jersey and White Marsh, Maryland without the use of pesticides and it is said to be mild and versatile enough to be used for a wide range of salad and grain bowls.

Bowery Farming also describes that "Crispy Leaf has the potential to disrupt the traditional iceberg market... Crispy Leaf is poised to change the way consumers interact with lettuce by introducing a completely new sensory experience to the category."
