Description

Mibuna mustard is easy to grow. It has dense clumps of light-coloured stalks with spoon-shaped leaves with a mild mustard flavour. Use raw in salads, or cooked by adding to soups or stir-fry. This cold-tolerant mustard is good for microgreens, or baby leaves, which will be ready in as little as 25 days.
This variety can cross-pollinate with 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.
