A close look at the Mizuna mustard plant.

Mizuna mustard green seeds

SKU: MMG541

This mustard green originated in Japan and is a close relative to the turnip. The green is usually grown for commercial salad mixes and is rich in several nutrients. The flavor has pleasant bitter notes and a slight peppery flavor. This member of the brassica family also acts as an effective pollinator attractor. When left to seed, the plant produces tall towers of greens with bright yellow flowers that steal the glances of bees, butterflies, ladybugs, and many other benefits in your garden!

This green holds a flavor profile all its own and is prized in kitchens across the world. If the leaves are picked when they are large, they can be frozen also! This plant is a great stand-in if arugula is missing. Although the flavor is similar, it's not nearly as pungent. Since it belongs to the brassica family, it thrives in cooler weather and is frost tolerant, so folks in the colder regions...give it a go!
