Corn salad, also known as lamb's lettuce or mâche, is a delicate, leafy green with a mild, nutty flavor. Originating in Europe, it has been a staple in French and Mediterranean cuisines for centuries. Its tender leaves pair well with light vinaigrettes, fruits, and nuts, making it a versatile base for fresh salads. Nutritionally, corn salad is a powerhouse, packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and potassium. It's particularly valued for its high antioxidant content, supporting immune health and reducing inflammation. At only about 20 calories per 100 grams, it's an excellent choice for weight management. Corn salad is low in carbohydrates and fats, making it heart-healthy and diabetic-friendly. There are no significant unhealthy aspects when it’s consumed fresh, but avoid pairing it with high-fat or sugary dressings to maintain its nutritional benefits.
