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.
