Care and Handling

Availability - Green Giant® Fresh Romaine Hearts are available year round.

Selection – Green Giant® Fresh Romaine Hearts are carefully selected and packaged 3 hearts in a bag. Look for leaves that look fresh and not wilted. Avoid leaves that are discolored, have dark spots or cracked ribs.

Storage – For optimal shelf life and product quality, keep unused portion in the bag it was sold in and store in the refrigerator. 

Preparation – Wash under cold running water.  If you're not using the entire lettuce at one meal, just remove as many leaves as you need from the stem.  A salad spinner greatly simplifies the preparation of greens by drying them quickly and thoroughly. Dry leaves are a must if the dressing is to adhere properly.

Cooking – Not recommended.

Freezing – Not recommended.
