Corn Salad (Mache) Seeds - Dutch Broad Leaved
Description
The cool-weather green of European kitchens. ‘Dutch Broad Leaved’ corn salad, also known as mâche, produces small rosettes of smooth, spoon-shaped leaves with a delicate, nutty flavor and melt-in-the-mouth texture. Its mild taste makes it perfect for winter salads and cold-season harvesting when most greens are long gone.
Plants form low, compact clusters that thrive in cool weather, tolerating light frost and self-seeding freely for naturalized beds. The leaves hold well after harvest and pair beautifully with vinaigrettes and citrus.
An old European heirloom first cultivated in France and the Netherlands centuries ago, this variety remains beloved for its sweetness, tenderness, and resilience—proof that winter can still bring abundance.
