Discover the benefits of Crunshella™
Spoon-shaped leaves
Crunshella’s naturally spoon-shaped leaves offer a stable base for toppings and whole-leaf applications. The shape supports scooping, filling and portioned serving, making it ideal for tapas-style spoons, wraps and full-leaf salads.
Suitable for hot & cold toppings
The leaves maintain their structure and crunch even when combined with warm ingredients. This heat resistance makes Crunshella™ a reliable carrier for dishes that mix temperatures or require stronger leaf performance.
Excellent crunchy texture
Crunshella™ delivers a firm, consistent crunch from prep to plate. The texture enhances bite and supports toppings without collapsing, adding a fresh, crisp element to any dish.
Crunshella™ for growers
All partners in the Crunshella™ Growers Group enter into a formal contract. This agreement ensures partners receive marketing support, the right to use the Crunshella™ logo and visual identity, and clear quality guidelines for Crunshella™ products. Structured leaves for today's applications
Crunshella™ was developed to answer a practical need: a lettuce leaf that can carry fillings, support warm or cold toppings and stay crisp in whole-leaf use. Its spoon-shaped form and reinforced structure make it suitable for applications that standard lettuces struggle with, such as tapas-style spoons, wraps and full-leaf salads.
Designed for strength, shape and reliability
Where standard lettuce types can wilt, fold or lose structure, Crunshella™ maintains its crunch from prep to plate. The variety was bred for firmness, versatility and reliable performance in dishes where the leaf serves not just as an ingredient, but as a carrier.
Practical benefits in prep and planning
Beyond performance on the plate, Crunshella™ was created to simplify preparation. Whole leaves are easy to cut, rinse and strip, and the variety’s natural durability supports longer shelf life and flexible planning in both professional and home kitchens.
