Corn salad, also known as maché, is a cold hardy leafy green. It forms a low rosette of small tender leaves. The whole rosette can be harvested, or just individual leaves to allow the plant to keep growing. The taste is mild, crunchy, and a bit nutty. Great in salads, stir fries, or steamed. The flowering tops can also be eaten.
This plant is tough, surviving snow and cold conditions. It will self seed if allowed to flower, and establish a robust carpet that will come back year after year. It's not picky about soil.
Maché usually survives the winter in zones 5 and above, so fall-sown plants can be harvested as soon as they thaw in early spring. While it is technically an annual, maché acts as a perennial given that it self seeds easily in the spring and survives throughout the following winter
