Babyleaf Corn Salad

Lamb's Lettuce

Corn salad, also known as lamb's lettuce or mâche, has a mild flavour, making it a good addition to various salads. It is high in vitamins and has many beneficial health effects. It is thought to have been eaten as early as the Neolithic period, and was particularly popular in the Alpine regions of Europe. Later, medieval herbals often mentioned it as a medicinal plant, and legend has it that the Sun King (Louis XIV) was very fond of it. Its cultivation only began in the 20th century. Today, France produces about three-quarters of the world's supply, but it is also grown in significant quantities in the Netherlands and Italy.
