About Mesclun

Mesclun is a vibrant mix of young salad greens originating from the Provence region of France. Traditionally, it includes a combination of leafy greens such as arugula, leafy lettuces, chard, and baby spinach, complemented by herbs like parsley, cilantro, and chervil. Modern variations may incorporate more exotic additions like mizuna or frisée for diverse textures and flavors. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, mesclun promotes heart health, strong immunity, and healthy skin. The greens are rich in fiber for digestion and contain antioxidants that help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Low in calories and fat, mesclun is a nutritious choice for a balanced diet, particularly in salads or as a fresh topping. Pair it with light dressings to avoid unhealthy calorie additions. Its versatility and nutrient density have made it a staple in Mediterranean-inspired dishes and health-conscious cuisines worldwide.
