Little Leaf Farms, which produces packaged lettuce sustainably grown through CEA, has expanded its Salad Kits line with a new Sesame Ginger Salad Kit.
The new kit variety features Little Leaf Farms’ Baby Crispy Green Leaf lettuce, Thai seasoned wonton strips, sliced almonds, toasted quinoa and sesame ginger dressing.
The Sesame Ginger Salad Kits are available at select grocery stores in the Northeast in 6.5-ounce packages with an MSRP of $4.99.
The Salad Kits line was first launched in 2023 with Crispy Caesar and Southwest varieties.
"Coming off of the heels of the wildly successful launch of our first Salad Kit offerings, it only made sense to add another variety to the lineup," said Lindsay Hardie, vice president of marketing at Little Leaf Farms. "Little Leaf Farms is the fastest-growing pre-packaged salad brand in the country, an achievement driven by the rapid growth of CEA and salad kits within the category. Our fans have been loving these kits, and we know they'll be just as excited about Sesame Ginger."
Little Leaf Farms' greens are free of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, are hands-free from seeding to harvesting to packaging and are delivered from greenhouse to grocery store in about 24 hours to ensure the crispiest, freshest lettuce possible.
Earlier this year, the company announced the opening of its newest greenhouse at its McAdoo, Pennsylvania, site, which has increased the brand's retail presence by nearly 5,000 grocery stores throughout the Northeast, Midwest and Southeast regions.
