New organic lettuce nutrient source
Added on 02 March 2021
"The path to organic is a natural evolution for Revol Greens," says Mark Schulze, CEO at Revol Greens. "Our technology facilities are designed to optimize Mother Nature while eliminating the need for pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. 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. We're proud of this significant innovation for our industry and our ability to expand more of our heathy leafy green products made from our Grown Clean and Green process to American tables."
Considering the risks of food-borne illnesses associated with animal byproducts, Revol landed on the patent-pending new Plant Fed organic solution to further enhance the safety and integrity of its packaged lettuce.
"As with all Revol Greens products, the new plant-powered nutrient source and organic line are non-GMO," says Marc Vergeldt, Director of Research and Development at Revol Greens. "This new organic nutrient source means that our lettuce is fed by plants. We've devoted years of research and testing to perfect this solution."
Consumer interest in plant-based foods is at an all-time high, which further inspired the choice for Revol Greens to pursue an organic nutrient source. Recent U.S. retail sales data shows plant-based foods have outpaced total food sales during the pandemic, up 90% year over year.
