About Chopped romaine lettuce
Chopped greens arrive in sealed bags inside a case, cut and ready to portion. Chopped romaine is the deli and salad-bar staple — it is what a Caesar line runs on — while chopped collard is a cooking green cut for volume kitchens. The bag, not the case, is the unit that matters: a case is a number of bags, and once a bag is opened the whole bag is on the clock, so bag size decides how much gets thrown away.
Buying notes
Compare cases on bag count and bag weight rather than on the case ticket, and pick the bag that matches one service. Bagged lettuce is already washed, so it should not be rinsed again at the sink — that adds water and takes days off it.
