“The beauty of the petite heads for foodservice operators is that it saves so much time; you just have to wash, rinse, and make one cut and you’re ready to toss,” said Rick Alcocer, Senior Vice President of Fresh Sales. “The leaves are the perfect size and shape for quick salads, wraps and lettuce cups.”
