Your First choice! Green salads are an important part of a healthy diet as they are a good source for vitamin A, vitamin C, and nutrients. There are plenty of salad greens and you may choose them based on their taste, the meal, their virtues, etc: Lettuce, Mache, Chicory, Cabbage, Spinach, Purslane, Sorrel, Aragula, Mizuna, etc.
What else from those greens:
- Fiber
- Vitamins
- Dietary Minerals
What’s in Season: You may opt for lettuces that are Locally grown and are therefore strictly seasonal crops. The best answer to figure out what’s in season, is to go to your closest farmers market (specially the one claiming organic only) and to see what’s there! Whatever let’s try to capture the essence of each season…
