Loudon, N.H.-based Lef Farms has introduced a new blend of baby red and green leaf lettuce called Fusion.

“Our goal was to introduce a new mix that captures the hearts and taste buds of those looking for something simple but something that still carries a unique flavor and texture profile they can’t find in an everyday mix”, Henry Huntington, Lef’s president and CEO, said in a news release.

Fusion was created by combining soft, red buttery bibb lettuce with a crisper and more substantial romaine variety, according to the release.

Available in 4-ounce fuchsia-labeled clamshells, Fusion can be found, along with the company’s Smooth and Spice blends, at grocers all across the Northeast, according to the release.

Lef Farms boasts a 75,000-sqare foot greenhouse growing facility, expected to produce nearly 1.5 million pounds annually, according to the release.
