Earthbound Farm Organic Spring Mix
What it is
This is a pre-washed blend of tender young salad greens. It typically includes a variety of delicate leaves like baby spinach, arugula, mizuna, and radicchio. The greens are harvested at their peak for a fresh, vibrant flavor and appealing texture. It offers a convenient way to enjoy a diverse selection of organic vegetables without the need for individual washing and preparation.
How people cook with it
This versatile mix is perfect for quick and easy salads. It can also be incorporated into various dishes for added freshness and color.
- Quick side salads
- Toppings for sandwiches
- Added to smoothies
- Base for grain bowls
Simply open the bag and use the greens as they are. For salads, toss with your favorite dressing and other toppings like nuts, seeds, or cheese. You can also wilt the greens slightly into warm dishes like pasta or soups just before serving. For a nutrient boost, add a handful to your morning smoothie. The delicate nature of the leaves means they cook very quickly, so add them at the very end of cooking to preserve their texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a head of lettuce, this spring mix offers a wider range of flavors and textures in a single package. The individual leaves are much smaller and more tender than mature greens, providing a lighter bite. The pre-washed convenience also sets it apart from buying whole heads of lettuce.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and fresh salad base will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag tightly to maintain freshness. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the greens within a few days of opening for optimal quality. Avoid storing with ethylene-producing fruits, as this can cause the greens to wilt faster.
