Rabid Reference Question #7

Dear Rabid Librarian:

What is a mâche plant? Where is it from?
--Curious


Dear Curious,

Mâche is a salad green from France. It is also known as lamb's lettuce. It is one of the mildest-tasting and softest-tasting greens out there. Like most greens, it does well in cool weather, but mâche also tolerates heat, and so does well in northern or southern gardens. Hope that helps. :)
