Description

Green Mizuna is a frilly, Asian mustard leaf with a mild but spicy flavour. It can be eaten raw, in salads, or cooked in soups or stir-fries. This variety will tolerate cold, wet conditions. Sometimes called ‘Japanese mustard’.
This variety can cross-pollinate with some other varieties of mustard, and other Brassica rapa plants, such as other Asian vegetables (Bok Choy, Choi Sum, Tatsoi), turnips, and rapini (raab).
Like all brassicas, mustards need protection from cabbage butterflies and moths, and cabbage aphids. Slugs and snails also like young mustard plants.
