Ruby Streaks Organic Mustard Greens Seeds
One of the prettiest leafy vegetables we have seen - leaves are deep fuchsia-purple and highly serrated, giving the plants a frilly quality which is great for adding volume to salads. Edible at all stages from microgreens, to baby greens and beyond - baby leaves are mildly spicy while full sized plants provide quite a kick that can be mellowed and delicious with braising. Plants grow fast and are fairly cold hardy into the fall, but will bolt in the heat of the summer. The yellow flowers can be eaten raw as a spicy and edible garnish, while the flowering stems cook up beautifully like broccoli in a stirfry. When grown in warmer conditions or under row cover, plants may be more dark green than purple, so grow uncovered in cooler conditions for maximum "purpleness." 20 days baby, 45 days full size.
