Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia)

$7.50

A tender, early-season green known for its delicate texture and mild, refreshing flavor.

Also called Miner’s Lettuce, Claytonia has been prized for generations as one of the first fresh greens of spring. It was widely foraged by early American settlers and miners during the California Gold Rush, prized for its ability to restore nutrients after long winters.

Its soft leaves and crisp stems offer a clean, slightly sweet bite—perfect for simple salads or finishing dishes.

Grown through the cold winter in our greenhouse, so it’ extra sweet! Harvested fresh and delivered at peak quality, this is a short-season crop that won’t be around for long.

How to Use

  • Toss lightly with lemon and salt for a simple salad

  • Add to mixed greens for texture and brightness

  • Finish dishes just before serving (think microgreens-style)

  • Pairs well with spinach and eggs for a simple, seasonal salad.

What Makes It Different

  • One of the first greens of the season

  • Naturally tender and mild

  • Grown in Ledyard, CT

  • Available for a limited time only

Product Details

  • Approx. 3–4 oz per bag

  • Highly perishable — best used within a few days

  • Refrigerate immediately
