Ever wonder how iceberg lettuce got its name? Back in the 1920s, lettuce was transported by train in cars filled with crushed ice, making them look like icebergs. Today, consumers enjoy the crunchy texture and refreshing taste of field fresh iceberg lettuce. Iceberg lettuce comes in tight, dense heads similar to cabbage, and is considered the mildest of the lettuce varieties.
Growing &Harvest |
Ocean Mist Farms iceberg lettuce is grown year-round in prime-growing regions of California and Arizona. We only grow varieties that produce a very uniform, round-shaped head of lettuce with consistent color, texture and flavor. Each head is hand-harvested in the field, trimmed, packed and cooled within four hours, following Ocean Mist Farms’ strict quality control measures. |
