Cornsalad is a hardy annual that grows well to zone 5. In warm weather it bolts to seed. If your climate is mild, it can be grown as a winter green. It grows wild in parts of Europe, northern Africa and western Asia and is a common weed on both cultivated land and waste spaces.
Like other formerly foraged greens, corn salad has many nutrients, including three times as much Vitamin C as lettuce, beta-carotene, B6, B9, Vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids.
This is an old garden green. It is a mild flavored green that contrasts nicely with stronger flavored greens in salads. It can also be cooked like spinach or used in dishes.
