Introduction

Spring mix is a trendy salad ingredient that can be used to add variety and color. It’s easy to find in the grocery store, but there’s a whole world of spring mixes out there! The fancy varieties are perfect for dinner parties, while the ones with more hearty greens are great if you’re looking for something that will stick with you through the day.

Hearty

Hearty Spring Mix (also known as “mesclun”) is a mixture of baby lettuces, arugula and spinach. The greens in hearty spring mix provide extra nutrients like vitamins A, C and K. Hearty spring mix can be used in sandwiches or salads; the leaves are tender enough to be eaten raw but sturdy enough that they won’t wilt after sitting for awhile either. Hearty spring mix will keep fresh for 1-2 weeks when stored properly: wrap the leaves loosely in a paper towel before putting them in an airtight plastic bag.

To grow your own hearty spring mix you’ll need about 6-8″ of soil depth with good drainage and plenty of sunlight–it’s best if you plant them directly into your garden because frequent waterings may cause the soil to become muddy which could lead to root rot issues later on down the line!

Spicy

Spring mixes that have a spicy flavor are perfect for people who love the taste of spicy food. These greens contain a blend of different types of greens, including some that are more traditionally used in winter salads (such as radicchio and frisée) as well as others that are usually found in summer salads (like arugula). This blend is known as “spring mix” because its ingredients come from right around the time when all these greens are in season at once, which happens during springtime.

Spicy spring green mixes can be purchased already prepared or they can be made at home by combining several different types of lettuce leaves with other leafy greens like watercress and sorrel. The flavors often vary depending on what type of spices were added to the dressing used when preparing the dish; however, most versions contain celery seeds, pepperoncini peppers or red pepper flakes for extra kick!

Baby Kale

Baby kale is a leafy green, like spinach or arugula. It’s rich in vitamins A, C, and K and calcium; it also offers fiber and antioxidants (which help fight cell damage).

One cup of baby kale has only 24 calories—and two servings provide all the daily recommended amount of vitamin A. This type of kale has more than twice as much vitamin A than its mature counterpart!

Summer Crisp

Summer Crisp is a variety of spring mix that is good for late spring and summer. It’s also known as Mesclun Mix, or Spring Salad Mix. It’s a mix of greens, including dandelion greens, arugula, oak leaf lettuce, mache and radicchio.

The best way to use this variety is in salads or sandwiches (if you’re feeling adventurous). Summer Crisp can be used in place of lettuce because it has a similar flavor profile—plus it will add some extra vitamins! Here are some ideas for using Summer Crisp:

• Replace traditional lettuce in your next salad with this blend and enjoy the difference! The leaves are tender enough to eat raw but have enough crunch to make them more interesting than just eating a bowlful of spinach alone. They’ll complement any type of dressing without overpowering it either so feel free to experiment with different combinations until you find something you like best.*
• Make an easy but delicious sandwich by slapping together some sliced turkey breast (or deli meat), tomato slices (or ketchup if you’re feeling lazy), Mayonnaise on both sides then cover up everything with crisp green leaves; press down gently before enjoying each mouthful!

Oak-Leaf

Oak-Leaf is a variety of spring mix. Its leaves are a bit larger and more rounded than other varieties, with a texture that’s crunchy and firm. It can be used as an ingredient in salads or as part of a mesclun mix (if you’re unfamiliar with the term, read on).

Oak-Leaf is one of several types of lettuce, which is any leafy green vegetable whose leaves are eaten either raw or cooked. Lettuce comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors; whether you prefer iceberg or romaine doesn’t affect its nutritional value (unless you count calories). You may have heard people say they don’t like salad greens—but if you really want to get into the spirit of things this spring season, try adding some Oak-leaf!

There are different types of spring mix.

Spring mix is a mixture of young lettuce and other salad greens, typically grown in cold frame tunnels or raised beds. There are many varieties of spring mix available, including:

• Mesclun – a blend of leaf lettuces and other salad greens. This is the classic type used for French mesclun salads.
• Baby spinach – loose-leaf baby spinach with a mild flavor and tender texture that makes it perfect for raw or cooked applications. Baby spinach has excellent nutritional value, containing high levels of vitamin C, folate and iron.
• Escarole – a richer tasting green with slightly bitter undertones that make it ideal for coleslaw dressings or sautéing with garlic; also known as Batavian endive or broad-leaved Batavian chicory
