Beschreibung

Mizuna or Japanese mustard cabbage is a robust Asian lettuce that belongs to the cruciferous family. Since even the young plantlets are cold-tolerant, mizuna can be grown all year round except for the hot summer months. Characteristic of leaf mustard are its pinnate, light green leaves. With its subtle pungency and pretty leaves, mizuna therefore makes a great addition to salads. But it can also be used very well in a stir-fry or as a condiment.

Anbautipps

Mizuna grows well in a sunny location with loose, humus-rich soil. The seeds can be sown in the bed from June to September. In cold frames they can be sown from September to March. Whereby you should pay attention to a shoot-resistant variety in spring. For easier harvesting, always place five seeds in one spot. The plantlets are easy to care for, but should always have enough water available. Four to six weeks after sowing you can harvest for the first time. If you cut off the leaves 4-5 cm above the ground, new ones will grow and you can harvest up to five times.
