Fresh Baby Mizuna on the root

The taste of mizuna has been described as a piquant, mild peppery flavor...slightly spicy, but less so than arugula.

Not only is it good to eat, it's also quite decorative, with glossy, serrated, dark green leaves and narrow white stalks. Mizuna greens have a mild mustard plant flavour.

Our baby Mizuna averages 6-8 inches in height with leaves that are green and yellow, smooth in texture and somewhat feathery in shape. It is available as a baby version that is more tender in texture. As a salad green mizuna can be steamed, boiled, stir-fried or used to complement other greens mixed together for a salad, especially Red Asian Mustard greens. When cooked it shrinks to about half its size so it takes a large amount to make a cooked vegetable dish containing only mizuna.
