Utah Leafy Green Production
Leafy green vegetables are relatively easy to grow. They come from several different crop families and including:
- Lettuces (bibb/Boston/butterhead, leaf, iceberg, romaine, etc.).
- Spinach (flat leaf and savoy).
- Aster family (endive, escarole, radicchio).
- Brassica crops (arugula, collards, kale, mustard and turnip greens).
- Other leaf crops like Swiss chard, beet greens and parsleys.
Various mixtures of green leafy vegetables (“mesclun”) and immature “baby greens” are also very popular.
