What it is
Earthbound Farm Petites is a pre-washed salad mix that offers a delicate blend of tender baby greens. It is designed to provide a light and fresh base for a variety of salads.

This convenient option saves time in the kitchen, making it easy to add fresh greens to meals.
How people cook with it
This salad mix is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple side dishes to more elaborate culinary creations.
- As a base for green salads
- Tucked into sandwiches
- Mixed into pasta dishes
- Topped with grilled proteins
To use Earthbound Farm Petites, simply open the bag and add the greens directly to your salad bowl. They are already washed and ready to eat, so no further preparation is needed. You can toss them with your favorite dressing, add chopped vegetables, fruits, nuts, or cheese for a more complex salad. They can also be gently wilted into warm dishes like pasta or stir-fries towards the end of cooking, or used as a fresh topping for pizzas and flatbreads after baking. Their delicate nature means they cook very quickly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger, heartier lettuce varieties, Petites are characterized by their smaller size and more tender leaves. This results in a milder flavor profile and a softer mouthfeel. The variety of greens in the mix also contributes to a more nuanced taste and visual appeal than a single type of lettuce.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep the unopened bag of Petites refrigerated. Once opened, ensure the bag is tightly sealed to prevent wilting and spoilage. It is best to consume the greens within a few days of opening for optimal quality and taste. Avoid storing with ethylene-producing fruits.
