Mustard Greens

Mustard greens come in a beautiful array of sizes and colors, and are found in some form in a huge range of cuisines, including Italian, Chinese, Indian, African, and soul food. While we focus on producing the greens, mustard is also grown for its valuable oil and for its seed, which is used as a spice in its own right, and to make yellow mustard. Mustards are part of a hugely important plant family, brassicaceae, which also includes kale, cabbage, collards, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. Our baby mustard greens are wonderful mixed into a salad, or quickly steamed or sauteed with oil and garlic. The varieties we grow (and pictured here L to R) include "mizuna," "Purple Osaka," and "Southern Curled."
