Why Grow Corn Salad?

  • ✅ Mild, nutty-flavoured leaves perfect for fresh salads

Where Can You Grow Corn Salad?

Corn salad grows best in cool to mild conditions, making it an excellent choice for autumn and winter gardens across Australia. Sow directly into well-drained soil in garden beds, raised planters, or pots. It tolerates frost and low temperatures, allowing harvests when many other greens are unavailable.

For continuous supply, sow every few weeks and harvest young leaves regularly. Corn salad is low-maintenance and suitable for smaller spaces and balcony gardens.

Health Benefits of Corn Salad

Corn salad is highly nutritious, containing vitamins A and C, folate, and minerals such as iron and potassium. It is also a rare leafy green source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. Eating corn salad regularly supports immunity, eye health, and cardiovascular wellbeing.
