What is cello iceberg?
Cello iceberg is iceberg lettuce individually film wrapped before packing. It holds better through distribution and is the preferred pack for many retail produce sets.

Yes. Florida and the desert regions cover the winter and spring, and western production covers spring through fall, so lettuce can be quoted on a standing weekly program.
