Loose Leaf Lettuce
Nutritional Value
Rich in vitamin A and K, a good source of folate, and low in calories. It helps with hydration because it's mostly water — useful on a boat where every drop counts.
How I'll Use It
Fresh salads, a crisp topping for Dan Dogs, wraps, sandwiches, and alongside whatever fish comes fresh out of the water that day.
Onion Greens
Nutritional Value
High in vitamins A, C, and K, plus antioxidants and sulfur compounds that support overall health. The green tops are actually more nutrient-dense than the onion bulb itself.
How I'll Use Them
Chopped into Dan Dogs, sprinkled over salads, mixed into fresh catch, and used as a quick garnish for just about any meal aboard.
Parsley
Nutritional Value
Extremely rich in vitamins K, C, and A, along with trace minerals like iron and potassium.
How I'll Use It
Fresh garnish for fish, lobster, and shrimp; mixed into salads and wraps; folded into Dan Dogs; and added to sauces and marinades.
Basil
Nutritional Value
Provides vitamins A, K, and C, plus antioxidants and aromatic oils that add real flavor without adding calories.
How I'll Use It
Fresh in salads, wraps, and Dan Dogs; stirred into sauces and pasta; and worked into homemade pesto or herb butter whenever the ingredients allow.
