Information
Corn salad, or lamb’s lettuce (Valerianella locusta), has earned its spot as a favorite leafy green thanks to its delicate flavor, versatility, and impressive nutritional punch. After over 25 years of perfecting corn salad seeds, we can confidently say we’ve become experts in this crop.
We’ve got a broad assortment for all sowing slots and excellent field keepability—two more boxes checked. These features offer growers flexibility, allowing corn salad to thrive across different sowing times and environmental conditions, all while holding its ground in the field. This reliability means fewer headaches from weather challenges or delayed harvesting, and a steady harvest window every time.
Moving on to our first check box: yield and uniformity. It’s about seed quality and genetics because uniform germination and plant growth mean a consistent, high-quality product that makes both retailers and consumers happy. We’ve also found the solution with late-bolting varieties, extending the crop’s productivity. These varieties are less likely to start flowering early; thanks to genetics, we get thicker leaves and more stable yields. Win-win! And finally, our compact plant design maximizes efficiency – not only simplifying harvesting but also improving handling during processing and making it easier for consumers to enjoy. We might be getting a bit carried away with our corn salad seeds, but hey, we’re pretty passionate about them – and we think you’ll be too!
