Salad Greens Center for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment

Product Description

Produce Spotlight on Salad Greens Salad Greens are a cool weather, early season crop. Many leafy greens are replanted later in the season for a second crop. Greens are an excellent source of vitamin K, which stops cuts and scrapes from bleeding too much. Vitamin K also works with calcium to help build strong bones. Shopping for Salad Greens Most lettuce is sold by the head, but some salad greens are sold prewashed and bagged. Choose firm heads with fresh leaves that show no sign of wilt or spoilage. To avoid spoilage, buy what you will use within a week.
