Eazyleaf offers the unique benefits of: • Higher yield and mechanized harvest for commercial growers. • Simple one-cut harvest for smaller farms and greenhouses. • Significantly reduced shrinkage and longer shelf life for shippers. • Premium quality and reduced waste for restaurants and home kitchens. • Thicker texture and attractive, equally-sized green and red leaf shapes for consumers. The inspiration The inspiration for Eazyleaf broadly stems from our global vision to consistently breed for better quality vegetables and fruits. In determining the direction for our premium leafy products, we also looked at European culinary trends, North American sensory preferences, and the growing consumer appetite for meal salads both at restaurants and at home. With our Eazyleaf one-cuts, we differentiate ourselves through: • Year-round availability of our portfolio. • Notable loft and texture maintained in the packaging and onto the plate. • Superior variety of leaf shapes and colors, including multiple greens and high-gloss dark reds. • Availability in both conventional and organic form, with excellent resistance packages. The future Through ongoing innovation, Enza Zaden is committed to continued leadership and innovation in leafy products. Eazyleaf shapes including Oakleaf, Tango, incised, Little Gem and Romaine, in variants of green and red, create an instantly appealing salad for consumers, who enjoy the loft, texture, variety and ease of preparation from bagged mixes or whole-head packaging. As new varieties are commercialized each year, the potential for even more intriguing mixes continues. Eazyleaf’s adaptability beyond large commercial operations to include small farm and greenhouse growth across North America is also establishing Eazyleaf varieties as key leafy players in the expanding ‘locally grown’ food trend. 10 | Enza Zaden Enza Zaden | 11
