Planet Farms renews Mix Vivace with a new recipe featuring Mizuna leaf

Planet Farms launches the new recipe for Mix Vivace, one of the most iconic products in the Frescaah range, whose mix goes from three to four leaf varieties that enhance its aromatic profile and deliver an even bolder, more enveloping taste.

The new recipe

The true star of the revamp is Mizuna: a fresh, tender leaf with delicately peppery notes, selected to add a new nuance of flavour and give the dish an even more dynamic touch. Mizuna joins Romaine Lettuce, which replaces the Red Lettuce used in the previous varietal composition, the Mustard Leaves and Komatsuna, completing a synergy of flavours in which each variety brings its own unique textures and aromas.

Agronomic research

The new Mix Vivace recipe is based on Planet Farms’ continuous agronomic research and development, which makes it possible to study the characteristics of the different varieties and their behaviour in controlled growing environments. Within the vertical farms, parameters such as light, temperature, humidity, water and nutrients are constantly monitored and calibrated throughout the entire growth cycle, to provide each crop with ideal conditions.

Like all Planet Farms salads, Mix Vivace is grown without the use of pesticides, with savings of more than 96% of water and 99% of soil compared with traditional farming. Growing in a controlled environment, independent of seasonality and external weather conditions, also makes it possible to guarantee product availability 365 days a year, while maintaining consistent quality, freshness and sensory characteristics.

Mix Vivace therefore arrives on the table ready to enjoy, with no need to wash it. Versatile and full of flavour, it can be eaten on its own as a side dish or used as an ingredient to give character and personality to more elaborate recipes and preparations.

The comment

“With Mix Vivace, we worked on developing flavour starting from the individual varieties and their perfect balance. Introducing Mizuna enabled us to enrich the recipe while retaining the distinctive personality that has always set this product apart,” says Mara Valsecchi, CEO of Planet Farms Italia. “The data confirms growing interest in vertical farming: a segment that has reached almost 31,5 million euros, with growth of more than 80%, and which in August 2026 came to account for more than 6% of the packaged salad market. This encourages us to continue investing in product innovation, bringing increasingly distinctive offerings to store shelves in terms of quality, freshness and flavour.”
