Vibrant Mesclun Mix: Gourmet Salad Greens in Just 28 Days
Elevate your salads and culinary creations with our Lettuce Mesclun Mix, a European-inspired blend of sweet lettuces and tangy, tender greens. This colorful assortment matures quickly, ready for harvest in just 28 days, offering a symphony of flavors and textures to brighten any dish. Originating from Provence, France, mesclun has been delighting taste buds since the 18th century, bringing a touch of gourmet tradition to your garden or planter.
Mesclun’s versatility shines in its diverse applications. Perfect for creating stunning salads, it also serves as an eye-catching garnish for main courses or a refreshing bed for grilled proteins. The mix typically includes varieties like arugula, chervil, leafy lettuces, and endive, each contributing unique flavors ranging from mild to peppery. This blend not only enhances the visual appeal of your meals but also provides a nutritious boost, packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals.
These fast-growing greens thrive in both garden beds and containers, making them ideal for gardeners with limited space. Plant seeds densely, about 1/4 inch deep, in rich, well-drained soil. As the plants grow, harvest the outer leaves to encourage continued production. This cut-and-come-again method ensures a steady supply of fresh greens throughout the growing season. With a mature height of 6-8 inches, mesclun is perfect for small-space gardening and can even add a stunning effect to combination flower planters.
Growing Success Tips:
- Sow seeds every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest
- Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
- Provide partial shade in hot climates to prevent bolting
- Harvest in the morning for the crispest leaves
Investing in our Lettuce Mesclun Mix offers an easy way to bring gourmet-quality greens to your table, saving money on store-bought salad mixes while ensuring the freshest, most flavorful ingredients for your meals.
For an extra flavor boost, try adding edible flowers like nasturtiums or pansies to your mesclun mix.
