Lamb's lettuce

Corn salad - A particularly healthy local vegetable

"If I do not get Rapunzeln to eat, then I die," it says in the fairy tale Rapunzel the Brothers Grimm, which gave the lettuce also the name Rapunzelsalat. Botanically, the lamb's lettuce is called Valerianella and is related to the valerian. It is one of the few vegetables that can be grown in the winter. This makes the vegetables equally popular with buyers and growers. Only little heat energy is needed for the cultivation and the plant is relatively easy to care for and does not impose too high demands on the soil quality. At temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius germination begins to inhibit, which is why the vegetables are mainly harvested from October to December or in May.
