I forgot to tell everyone who picked up their shares about what some of them might find in the lettuce mix today. By the title of the post you might have guessed… pea greens.
They might look like common weeds but they’ll add a light pea flavor to your salads. The 2nd leaves of the tendril can be a little tough, but are usually fairly tender. Many plants can actually be eaten when young, and a lot of flowers are also excellent in salads… but we don’t include the really weird things in our salad mixes.
So when you open up your salad mixes today don’t throw out the curly light green pieces, they’re not weeds- just baby pea greens that will pleasantly surprise you.
