It is named for springing up on its own among grain fields, and is known as mâche in France. Very cold-hardy, it is one of the few greens giving fresh salad through winter.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
