Owatonna, Minn.-based Revol Greens invented a plant-based, organic fertilizer, Plant Fed, which is behind its new line of U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified organic Spring Mix, Green & Red Duo and Romaine Crunch lettuce products.
“The path to organic is a natural evolution for Revol Greens,” CEO Mark Schulze said in a news release.
“The plant-based, natural fertilizer developed by our research and development team is an extension of our goal to provide the healthiest, most natural leafy greens to our customers.”
Revol landed on the new Plant Fed (patent-pending) organic solution to further enhance the safety and integrity of its packaged lettuce.
“We’ve devoted years of research and testing to perfect this solution,” Marc Vergeldt, director of research and development, said in the release.
No chemical cleaning or chlorine is used in Revol’s organic packaging process. From seed to packaging, no human hands touch Revol Greens’ baby lettuces or greens, according to the release.
Recent U.S. retail sales data shows plant-based foods have outpaced total food sales during the pandemic, up 90% year-over-year, according to the Plant Based Foods Association and May 2020 data from marketing firm Spins.
Revol Greens grows more than 5 million pounds of lettuces annually.
