Leafy Greens Season

March 15 – May 31

From mid-March through late May, tender greens return with mild, sweet flavors and crisp textures. Cooking shifts to quick, bright methods: toss raw in salads, flash-sauté with garlic, wilt into broths, or fold into grains and eggs. Look for vibrant leaves without yellowing, rinse in cold water, and spin dry; store wrapped in a towel to keep them perky. Balance richness with lemon or vinegar and a little heat from chile. Sturdier greens like kale and chard shine in soups and stews, while delicate lettuces and spinach excel barely cooked or raw.
