The Petite® Citrus Mix™ is a blend of small greens, averaging 5-10 centimeters in length, which vary in shape from flat and round, to oblong, to long and slender with serrated or toothed edges. The smooth leaves also vary in color from a vibrant solid green, green with purple striping, to solid purple. The Petite® Citrus Mix™ is tender and crisp and with a bright and fresh, green, tangy flavor with strong citrus notes.
The Petite® Citrus Mix™ is available year-round.
The Petite® Citrus Mix™ combines the bright and earthy flavors of Petite® Mint Lemon™, Petite® Sorrel, Petite® Tangerine Lace™, Petite® Hearts On Fire™, and Petite® Basil Lemon. The Petite® Citrus Mix™ is a part of a trademarked line of specialty greens grown by Fresh Origins Farm, the leading national producer of both common and unique Petite® Greens, located in San Diego, California.

The Petite® Citrus Mix™ has a moderately strong citrus quality and substantial texture that is best suited for raw applications in savory dishes. The Petite® Citrus Mix™ can withstand dressings and oils and is best used lightly dressed with a bright olive oil or a sprinkling of salt to enhance flavor. It is commonly used as a highly versatile garnish for appetizers and main course dishes, placed in sandwiches for crispness and freshness or mixed into a green salad. The Petite® Citrus Mix™ pairs well with seafood, poultry, and cheeses. It will keep 7-10 days when stored unwashed, in a sealed container, and in the refrigerator.
