Little Leaf Farms, the country’s #1 brand of packaged lettuce sustainably grown through controlled environment agriculture (CEA), has added a Sesame Ginger variety to its fast-growing Salad Kits line.
Sesame Ginger joins Crispy Caesar and Southwest varieties, which launched in 2023. Sales of those two have grown quickly, with Crispy Caesar now the best-selling CEA salad kit in the Northeast and Little Leaf Farms Salad Kits now the best-selling CEA salad kits in New England.
Featuring Little Leaf Farms’ fan-favorite Baby Crispy Green Leaf lettuce, the new Sesame Ginger Salad Kit includes Thai seasoned wonton strips, sliced almonds, toasted quinoa and sesame ginger dressing, delivering a convenient, fresh, flavor-packed meal ready to be enjoyed anytime, according to the company.
“Coming off of the heels of the wildly successful launch of our first Salad Kit offerings, it only made sense to add another variety to the lineup,” said Lindsay Hardie, vice president of marketing at Little Leaf Farms. “Little Leaf Farms is the fastest-growing pre-packaged salad brand in the country, an achievement driven by the rapid growth of CEA and salad kits within the category. Our fans have been loving these kits and we know they’ll be just as excited about Sesame Ginger.”
Little Leaf Farms’ greens are free of harmful chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, are hands free from seeding to harvesting to packaging and are delivered from greenhouse to grocery store in about 24 hours to ensure the crispiest, freshest lettuce possible.
The new Salad Kit variety is the latest development in Little Leaf Farms’ ongoing growth. Earlier this year, the company announced the opening of its newest greenhouse at its McAdoo, Pa., site, which has increased the brand’s retail presence by nearly 5,000 grocery stores throughout the Northeast, Midwest and Southeast regions.
Little Leaf Farms Sesame Ginger Salad Kits are available at select grocery stores in the Northeast in 6.5oz. packages with an MSRP of $4.99.
In other Little Leaf news, the company is empowering its customers to come up with the best ways of mixing their salad kits.
Little Leaf teamed up with “the Internet’s favorite fitness pop star,” The Fitness Marshall, to help fans commit to fresher, better salads in 2025 by developing the best “salad shake” possible.
“Most salad eaters have been known to shake up their salads a time or two, using the tried-and-true method to mix their favorite toppings and dressings for an evenly coated meal (no tongs needed),” according to Little Leaf.
With the ‘salad shake’ making its way into the cultural zeitgeist in recent years, Little Leaf Farms and The Fitness Marshall are encouraging fans to share their unique take on the classic move for a chance to win a $10,000 prize.
“The salad shake is a go-to move for anyone who’s found themselves with all the fixings for a salad, but no easy way to combine them for a perfectly blended bite of lettuce, dressing, and toppings,” said Jeannie Hannigan, senior brand manager at Little Leaf. “Each Little Leaf Farms Salad Kit includes our fan-favorite Baby Crispy Green Leaf lettuce and delicious toppings, which makes them ideal for shaking. We can’t wait to see how our fans get creative with their salad shakes, and we know our Salad Kits have what it takes to stay fresh through even the most animated moves.”
