Description
Mustard 'Mizuna' (Brassica rapa var. nipposinica), a traditional Japanese heirloom cultivated for centuries, is celebrated for its attractive feathery foliage, high vigor, and crisp texture. Growing into dense, leafy rosettes 10 to 18 inches tall, it produces deeply serrated, dark green, spiderweb-like leaves along slender, crunchy white stems. Possessing a mild, fresh, slightly peppery flavor profile that is less sharp than traditional mustard greens, Mizuna excels both raw and cooked. Highly prized for high-density baby leaf production, continuous cut-and-come-again harvesting, stir-fries, soups, and fresh salad blends, Mizuna is a dependable staple for cool-season gardens.
