Kale Mix
Adding greens to your diet is one of the simplest and most effective ways to boost your overall health. Greens are hydrating, and packed with vitamins like A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like potassium and folate. They’re also incredibly low in calories but high in fiber, making them an excellent choice for promoting digestion and supporting a healthy weight.
What is Kale Mix?
Our Kale Mix is a combination of young, tender kale leaves and mild lettuces. Unlike mature kale, the kale in this mix is harvested early, making it tender and free from the bitterness often associated with older leaves. Paired with the crisp, refreshing texture of lettuce, our Kale Mix brings together the best of two greens in one convenient package.
Blending mild lettuces with dark leafy greens like kale is a powerful way to amplify both nutrition and texture in your meals. Kale is full of nutrients, providing significant amounts of iron, calcium, and antioxidants that support bone health, immune function, and energy levels.
The combination allows you to enjoy the refreshing crunch of lettuces while incorporating the hearty, nutrient-dense benefits of darker greens. Together, they create balanced, flavorful dishes that elevate your diet and health effortlessly.
At Area 2 Farms, we’re able to grow and harvest Kale Mix year-round in Arlington, VA, thanks to our sustainable indoor farming practices. This ensures you get fresh, hyper-local greens even during the coldest months when local vegetables are harder to find.
Kale consistently lands on the EWG’s Dirty Dozen list, which is why the source of your kale matters. By eating locally grown, organic produce, you can be sure that your kale is only adding to your health, not compromising it.
