UPICKers Stomp on Agretti!

These were not labeled properly -  I'm sure everyone thought these were grass - but at $5 a packet of seed - it's expensive - so I am labeling it today so it does not get stomped on again!  It's a learning curve and alittle humerous - don't worry.


"arba dei frati (friars' beard), also known as agretti, is a wild, grass-like spring vegetable grown in northern Italy. Slightly acidic and bitter when raw, they are tossed into salads. When cooked, they taste very much like spinach. looks like gourmet grass" 


Dark leafy greens are very nutritious and one of the most nutritious foods you can eat - even most of the weeds - are really edible dark leafy greens such as wild mustard, sting nettles, mustard - to name a few.   Please enjoy the greens when UPICK and tread lightly!  You may be stepping on real food!
