Mustard Greens Giant Red
Botanical name: Brassica oleracea
Seed heritage: Japan
Giant Red is a Japanese type of mustard, recognised for its robust growth and impressive yields, as well as its potent and sharp flavour. This variety produces a large rosette of broad, slightly savoyed, reddish-purple leaves, along with bright green stems and midribs. When mature, leaves have a strong, spicy, mustard flavour that is similar to horse radish, making them excellent stir-fried or added to soups. For a milder and more tender taste, it is best to harvest the leaves while they are still young for use in salads for a subtle mustardy flavour. Mustard greens thrive in both hot and cool climates, allowing for a continual supply of greens throughout the year.
