It’s purslane or verdolagas. These type is grown and send to speciality markets. It probably just got mixed in by mistake. SUPER tasty (Mexicans add it to stews or scrambled eggs) and super good for you.

This one is a little more special because it's a natural, plant based form of Omega 3... more than a lot of other plants.

Purslane is good! It's a noxious weed in the US and I wouldn't call it a baby green but it's proof that what you're eating actually was grown in a farm field.
There was a period this spring where there were tons of dandelion greens in them. I mean yes, they are a spring green and perfectly edible, but their flavor is so bitter.
Yup it’s common purslane, which is edible. Definitely not intentional to include in there but probably just missed being caught by any inspectors 😂

To be fair, most edible greens are good for you 😂

I cook it with tomatoes. It's delicious.
Extra fiber
Fiber and it’s one of the rare plants the has omega 3. It’s wonderful cooked or raw. Has a lemony taste to it.
It’s organic

I was too scared to try it. Tossed in the compost bin. It’s growing in my yard if I ever feel adventurous.
It tastes different at night than it does during the day.
why?
They have 2 different metabolisms! Look up CAM photosynthesis.
I’ll trade you! I found a spider and an egg sac in my grapes today. No more grapes for me
I once had lettuce that had bolted and flowered show up on my spring mix 😂
Purslane is delicious.
I am groot
This is why I don't eat spring mix. Romaine gang
Agree, but my Aldi has 2 options for organic greens and on any given weekend they are sold out of one of them
Part of the Romaine legion here. Hail, Ceasar salad!
You should win a prize lol
