Lollo biondo is a variety of leaf lettuce of Italian origin with characteristically curly, light green leaves. The name comes from Italian and refers to the pale colour of the leaves (biondo meaning blonde). The flavour is delicate with a mild bitterness, and the texture is crisp and refreshing. Thanks to its decorative appearance, it is popular not only in cooking but also as a plate garnish. It works well in salad mixes, on burgers, in sandwiches or as a side dish for meat courses. It pairs nicely with olive oil-based as well as yogurt-based dressings. The leaves should be washed in cold water and dried before use.

Lollo rosso is an Italian leaf lettuce with distinctive dark red, frilly, and lace-like leaves. It originates from the Mediterranean region and is a popular salad variety thanks to its decorative appearance and pleasantly bitter, slightly peppery taste. It works wonderfully in fresh salads, where it forms a colorful base on its own, but can also be combined with other types of lettuce and salad greens. The leaves are delicate, so they are best added to dishes just before serving. Rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, it is a popular choice for a healthy diet.

Long-grain rice is a popular variety of rice characterized by slender, elongated grains that are typically three times longer than they are wide.

Long-life whipping cream in a carton is a liquid cream with a high fat content (typically 30-33%) that has been UHT-treated and packed in aseptic carton packaging.

Once whipped, it forms firm whipped cream suitable for decorating desserts, cakes, pancakes, or as a component of cream fillings. It is also well suited for soups, sauces, and other cooked dishes, adding richness and creaminess. Carton packaging is practical for households that use cream less regularly.
