Frozen shepherd's purse greens were purchased from 99 Ranch. The taste was quite mild and agreeable (not bitter like dandelion or spicy like arugula), and the texture, while definitely on the chewy/stringy side, was not unpleasant. In fact the "crowns" of the rosettes that were also included had a nice chewy/meaty texture.
