Salinas, CA<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Tanimura & Antle is unveiling its new Rootless Hydroponic Butter Lettuce.  The lettuce is available in compact, 1-count clamshells or 3-count club-packs and are packaged to deliver 35% more product per pallet.  The new design has been created specifically for the rootless head of lettuce.  Additionally, a recent study by the company revealed that roots vs. no roots does not affect the shelf life of lettuce. Rick Antle, CEO, states, "We wanted to increase our line of greenhouse grown lettuces and offer a value option to our retail customer." <hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">www.taproduce.com<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
