Nutritional Information
Excellent source of vitamin C & folate. Good source of calcium.

What To Look For
Look for small, soft leaves. (The bigger the leaves are, the more peppery & hot they become.)

Easy Storage & Preparation
Will keep for 1 or 2 days if refrigerated. Discard the long stems. Wash well in several changes of water to remove any dirt. Dry well.

Best Uses
Often used in salads. Its warm flavor is good with olives, hard-cooked eggs, grilled onions & salty cheeses. Use vinaigrettes with strong acids, such as sherry vinegars, lemon juice, or aged red wine.
