A large leafed mustard variety originating from Japan. Purple tinged leaves may be harvested at the baby leaf stage, for a milder, sweeter flavour. As the plant grows, leaves expand and become quite large, and spicy hot!

Mustard is best grown in the spring and fall, as hot weather causes the plant the bolt. Cooler temperatures also prevent leaves from becoming overly spicy.

Can be grown in a raised bed, in-ground or container garden.

Harvest individual leaves for use in salads, soups, stir fries, or pesto. So delicious!
