Wasabi Mustard Green Seeds 200 Count Seed Pack - Non-GMO - Large Green Leaves with Wavy Edges and a Fun Wasabi-Like

Wasabi mustard is leafy annual that produces large light green serrated leaves that grow in loosely packed heads. The leaves’ ruffly edge becomes more pronounced with maturity, as does its peppery bite. Like wasabi root, this green’s heat does not linger on the palate, but simply provides a sharp cleansing note with accents of horseradish and mustard. Easy to grow, this mustard is also cold hardy and vigorous. Wasabi mustard greens are a variety of Brassica juncea, and of no relation to the wasabi usually seen as a sushi condiment. Also commonly referred to as Wasabina, a name that literally translates to ‘like wasabi’ in Japanese, this green shares the characteristic sharp of heat of wasabi root. Wasabi mustard greens are extremely versatile and may be eaten raw, stir-fried, steamed, braised or pickled. The young greens are delicate and tender, well suited for raw applications in salads, sandwiches, spring rolls or as garnishes. Mature leaves are best for cooked applications such as in the traditional Japanese dish ohitashi, literally meaning “to steep vegetables in a dashi base sauce”.
