Good. <g> So I am not the only one that finds it to be unpleasant!
Baby spinach is one of my favorite salad greens, but I also eat a lot of
Romain and leaf lettuces. Iceberg when I am in the mood for it. Boston
Butter lettuce is my top favorite lettuce.

Alfalfa, clover, radish, sunflower and mung bean sprouts are also good
salad greens along with fresh basil leaf.
