Miike Giant Mustard Seeds

A very rare heirloom mustard from Asia.

Virtually unknown in the Americas except by the Asian community, this wonderful and impressive giant mustard deserves to be widely grown. This broad-leafed mustard has large aromatic light green leaves with red veins. The mildly pungent leaves can be used in soup, salad, stir-fry or pickled. All parts of the plant are edible--roots, shoots, stems and leaves. Flavor is best when grown briskly so plant in fertile soil and keep well-watered. Start harvesting at 3" tall for baby mustard greens. Thin to 10" apart for mature heads. If the plants bolt, no worries! Harvest florets as they are tender and delicious too.

Harvest at any stage, from micro-greens to baby leaf for salads and sandwiches, as well as flowers and seed pods. Mature leaves are excellent for pickling, cooking and juicing.

A versatile, almost unknown garden mustard that deserves much more praise. AKA Broad Leaf mustard, Indian mustard.
