Anyone Experience w/ Greens called "FIELD SALAD" ..... (or "Corn Salad")
Can anyone tell me what this stuff is like as a survival lettuce/vitamin source?
The seed package says "sweetly flavored oval leaves".
"Like other formerly foraged greens, corn salad has many nutrients, including three times as much vitamin C as lettuce, beta-carotene, B6, B9, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids. It is best if gathered before flowers appear." (wikipedia)
"It is also called Lewiston cornsalad, lamb's lettuce, fetticus, field salad, mâche, feldsalat, nut lettuce and rapunzel." (wiki)
Supposed to be one of the earliest greens available in the wild too, and the seed package says "extremely cold tolerant". Sure looks like a weed to me!
I planted some in a container today & will give it a try, but was wondering if any advance-warnings were available from my INGO colleagues!
