Wild Corn Salad (Valerianella locusta) is native to Eurasia and grows wildly on meadows and fields, on the wayside, and in the vineyard, there. Only since the 18th century, we also know wild corn salad as a cultivated plant. As food, it has already been known for a long time but people collected the wild variety in nature, which, indeed, tastes much stronger and more aromatic.


Wild corn salad can be cultivated all year round. However, it's appreciated especially as a winter salad as it survives frosts down to -15°C and can be harvested all winter long. Its high vitamin C content has already been appreciated in so long, especially during the winter months. Therefore, the wild corn salad is also rich in vitamin B6 and folate, as well as in iron and potassium. The delicate leaf rosettes are cut near-ground and prepared well-washed as a salad.

Wild corn salad sows itself and is perfectly suitable as a ground-covering nurse crop. It can also be harvested brilliantly as a balcony vegetable in pods.
