This mesclun mixture is a powerhouse of nutrients. As a blend of various leafy greens, it is an excellent source of Vitamins A, C, and K, as well as Folate. It also provides a good source of iron and dietary fibre, making it a highly nutritious and refreshing addition to your diet.

• Sowing: Mesclun mixes are sun-loving, cool-weather crops that grow best in organic, well-drained soil. Sow as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, then every two weeks thereafter to ensure a continuous supply. Sow about 3 mm deep in rows 45 cm apart.
• Care: An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is imperative for success.
• Harvesting: Harvest by either pulling the entire plant or by cutting leaves from the main stem at least 2.5 cm above the base - this will allow the plant to sprout new leaves. Once the plants start to bolt (produce rapidly growing flower stems), the leaves become bitter.
• Germination: Germination occurs in approximately 7 days.

For a simple and convenient way to grow a diverse salad blend, this mild mesclun mixture is an excellent choice. It takes the guesswork out of creating a balanced salad mix and provides you with a continuous supply of fresh, tender greens. Perfect for those who prefer a more delicate flavour, it’s an easy and rewarding way to bring a touch of gourmet to your table.
