GARDEN HEARTS® ICEBERG BABIES™
 The Size Makes It Sizzle! Heads will turn when kitchen doors open and Garden Hearts® Iceberg Babies™ make their entrance into restaurant dining rooms across America! A traditional favorite – once the centerpiece of every salad – iceberg gave up ground in recent years to romaine and leaf lettuces. Let’s face it – iceberg just wasn’t cool!
At Boggiatto Produce, we’ve changed all that – it’s a brand new day for iceberg with Iceberg Babies™. These diminutive gems are smaller than a softball, but pack the punch of a major league grand slam.
What makes Iceberg Babies™ cool?
• Size –The Wow! Factor that will delight your guests.
• Crunch – Incomparable texture and refreshingly crisp crunch that can only be iceberg!
• Taste – Sweeter and more flavorful than conventional iceberg to compliment the most adventurous flavor combinations.
• Versatility – Eye-catching, single-serving size opens the door to culinary creativity.
• Presentation – Virtually limitless serving options allow your culinary creativity to take flight.
Serving Tips
• Fill it! Remove the cap and scoop out the center to create a bowl. Fill with favorite salad ingredients, a chilled soup or even a hot entrée.
• Build it! Remove the stem, core like conventional head lettuce and slice off the cap so it sits level on the plate. Insert vegetables in a vertical bouquet to create an architectural delight.
• Slice it! Slice horizontally into rosettes and arrange in a bowl with other vegetables for an eye-catching version of the traditional tossed salad.
• Wrap it! Use individual leaves as perfect, bite-sized wraps for appetizers and small plate favorites.
• Wedge it! Cut into baby wedges and arrange on the plate, pairing each wedge with a different ingredient or dressing.
Handling Handle similarly to conventional iceberg. Uncut, whole heads retain nutrients best. Surface water from washing encourages bacterial growth, so this should be done just prior to use.
