Papier-mâché has come a long way in valuable furniture, says Sheffield expert
There are many different varieties of mache that can be divided into two types: small-seeded and large-seeded. The small-seeded mache lettuce grows best when planted in cold weather months and the large-seeded type in warmer months. As a plant, mache lettuce looks like low growing green rosettes.
Mache is an underappreciated green - it's tasty, can handle extreme colds, and readily self-seeds. Here's what you should know about growing mache.
Also called lamb's lettuce or corn salad, mache (Valeriana locusta var. olitoria L.) is one of the most nutritious lettuce varieties there is, and its wonderful nutty flavor ensures that your salads and green smoothies featuring mache will be real hits both among adults and kids.
Mache is edible when raw and has a soft, springy, succulent, tender, crisp, and velvety texture. The leaves release a mild, green, herbal, and nutty flavor with refreshing, tangy nuances. When cooked, Mache will mellow and mainly take on the taste of accompanying flavors.
