looks like beet greens / beet tops. I've heard they're edible.

They tast like spinach! It's a shame so many people throw them away.

They're super tasty when they're tiny. Baby beet greens are so good.

beet greens taste like beets but in leafy form. I intentionally grew beets last season for the leaves, when the leaves got big enough I would cut them to eat in my salad. Doing this the tuber stays small. OP's pic is definitely not beet greens.

I am pretty sure I've had them and I don't recall finding them objectionable, but I am also pretty sure there were other greens and whatnot in the mix. most greens are good if they're made tender through heat and vinegar/fat and are hooked up in some way with some savory something and maybe a little crunchy or salty in there.

Sounds like socialism. Using big scientific words, like some educated agitator.

The stems make me want to say chard but the leaves are all wrong. Maybe some kind of heirloom?

You could try one of the plant ID apps.

Why would she. Buy this instead of a good American vegetable like iceberg lettuce

[-] MagicPterodactyl@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Sounds like she doesn't neal at the alter of Olive garden. Big red flag tbh
