Have you ever tried mache? It is also know as lamb's lettuce due to it's adorable little shape. This little soft-leaved, buttery green is a great mild, almost nutty flavored alternative to other more bitter winter greens such as escarole or arugula. It is also vitamin packed and low calorie! An entree sized salad of mache (about 50g or so) contains about 30% of your daily vitamin C, packed with beta-carotine, omega 3s, and antioxidants -- and only 10 calories! Eating lots of spinach to up your iron intake? Mache packs more than a third more iron than spinach!
