FREE: Giant Red Greens: Japanese Mustard

The listing, Giant Red Greens: Japanese Mustard has ended.

A beautiful purple, crinkle leafed, Japanese type mustard green for your garden.
Very hardy to grow summer or winter: you can sow it and enjoy it in spring. Bees are attracted by the yellow flowers when it bolts, it self seeds happily, and will still be growing even after a hard frost.
Don't have to wait for spring, though -- sow it now! This attractive, hardy, annual herb is a great addition to the winter garden -- in the vegetable garden it is beautiful interplanted with other winter greens...but don't stop there: its dark red foliage adds a big, bold texture that winter landscapes usually lack, and the foliage works well as a foliage companion plant for fall flowers. Short on space? It performs well in containers too. Where ever you plant it it will add "spice" to your dinner.

This Asian treat has a unique, spicy flavor. Young leaves (see picture #3) are excellent added in salads or sandwiches to add a tangy Dijon mustard taste. The mature purple-red leaves have a delicious strong, sharp, almost garlic-like, mustard flavor. Tasty stir-fried or steamed (try tossing them with sesame oil and soy sauce) -- and this is a great pickling variety (have you tried making kim chee yet?).
Note that the mature leaves are huge - you'll have plenty to experiment with and to share with friends.

Mustard greens are quite valuable nutritionally. They have a number of essential vitamins and minerals , making them a great supplement to the winter diet, when other sources of greens and roughage can be hard to find. Humans have been using mustard greens in cooking for thousands of years all over the world. Archaeological evidence shows that the Egyptians pickled them, the Greeks ate them in salads, and the ancient Chinese added them to soups and stir fries.
