The tender, mild, slightly peppery young leaves of Mizuna Mustard are perfect for mesclun salad mixes. The flavor is not as pungent as common or Chinese mustard, and the leaves can also be steamed or stir-fried in a multitude of dishes. Leaves are ready to harvest in just three weeks after seedlings emerge and will withstand heat longer than lettuce without bolting. Mizuna’s looks are deceptive – this beautiful, graceful, branching plant may have a delicate appearance, but its seedlings are tough and will germinate outdoors under cold and wet spring conditions.
