How it differs from similar foods
Compared to single varieties of lettuce, this mix offers a broader spectrum of flavors and textures. Some greens might be crisp, while others are tender or slightly peppery, creating a more complex and interesting salad experience. The variety ensures a more dynamic bite than using just one type of leaf.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused greens in the original packaging or an airtight container in the refrigerator. Ensure the container is well-sealed to maintain freshness and prevent wilting. Consume the remaining greens within a few days for the best quality and taste.
