About Spring greens

Spring greens is a market term for young leafy greens harvested in spring, often referring to tender leaves from brassica plants. They are usually sold as loose leaves or bunches and may be green, with a soft yet slightly crisp texture and a mild, sometimes peppery or cabbage-like flavor. The exact mixture depends on local usage and season.

They are commonly cooked briefly as a leafy vegetable, though tender leaves may also be eaten raw. This is not a single fixed variety: packaged mixtures and regional market greens may contain different plants, so the term alone cannot specify their exact composition.
