Mesclun Mix

Nutrition Information:

Mesclun Mix is a mix of young salad greens typically including endive, arugula, baby spinach, radicchio, and others.

Mesclun Mix is high in vitamins A, C, and particularly K, which can help improve your mood. These leafy greens are also a good source of zinc and magnesium.

Storage Tips:

Mesclun Mix has been hydrocooled after harvest, and then spun dry. We encourage you to rewash it and spin it, just before use. It’s essential to spin or hand towel dry salad greens before storing. If you have neither of these, a mesh sack that you can swing around your head outside like a lasso also works pretty good to dry out the greens. ( this can be a fun job for the kids). You can also just eat it within a few days and not worry about it being a little wet.

Uses:

Mesclun mix is great for salads, either as a base or mixed in with other leafy greens. It is also good for adding to sandwiches and wraps.
