Grower
Petite® Lilyette Leaf™ is small in size, averaging 5-7 centimeters in length, and is flat, broad, and round with a thin green stem connected in the center of the leaf. The dark green leaves are glossy and smooth with scalloped, or curved, wavy edges, and the stem is pale green, crisp, and pliable. Petite® Lilyette Leaf™ is crunchy, tender, and has an initially strong fresh green and grassy flavor that fades into a tangy aftertaste with notes of citrus.
Petite® Lilyette Leaf™ is available year-round.
The Petite® Lilyette Leaf™ is a young, edible plant that is a part of a trademarked line of specialty Petite® Greens grown by Fresh Origins Farm in San Diego, California. Designed to be slightly larger than microgreens, the Petite® Lilyette Leaf™ is harvested 4-6 weeks after sowing and is favored by chefs for its unusual round shape and blank flavor.
Petite® Lilyette Leaf™ contains some iron, vitamin C, and vitamin A.
Petite® Lilyette Leaf™ is best suited for raw applications as its small size and delicate nature cannot withstand high heat applications.

Petite® Lilyette Leaf™ pairs well with seafood such as crab, lobster, mussels, clams, and squid, tarragon, black mint, baby beets, carrots, radishes, pine nuts, almonds, garlic, onions, and chives. They will keep 7-10 days when stored unwashed, in a sealed container, and in the refrigerator.
