What it is
Mixed greens are a blend of various types of leafy salad vegetables. Common components include lettuce varieties like romaine, iceberg, and leaf lettuce, as well as spinach, arugula, kale, and radicchio. They are typically washed, chopped, and packaged for ready-to-eat salads.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use mixed greens as the base for pre-packaged salads, providing a fresh, nutritious, and visually appealing foundation. They are often combined with other ingredients like vegetables, fruits, cheeses, nuts, and dressings to create complete meal options.
Health notes
Mixed greens are a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are not subject to FDA additive regulations as they are a whole food. Regulatory bodies like the WHO have recognized the health benefits of consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, which includes leafy greens. No specific health controversies are associated with the consumption of mixed greens themselves.
Allergen info
Mixed greens are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
