A leafy green grown for its large, sturdy leaves. Thick and slightly chewy with a mild, earthy flavor. Best harvested in cooler seasons.

How to Use

Wash with cold water and remove stems when ready to use.
Sauté, braise, steam, or boil.
Layer in wraps, or as part of a salad base.
If eating raw, dress greens with lemon and vinegar to soften & reduce bitterness.

Store unwashed in a perforated plastic bag in the fridge.
