A delicious and ornamental mizuna from Japan. A perfectly pleasing combination of dense nutrition, rich flavor, and eye appeal. The stems of this variety are a lavender-pink hue, which indicates high levels of the antioxidant anthocyanin. The delicious leaves will often take on a pink color as well when grown in favorable conditions! Mizuna is one of the healthiest vegetables that you can grow. It is a good source of vitamin C, as well as folate and the powerful antioxidant glucosinolate. This feathery light green is suitable for raw eating in complex and flavorful salads or try steaming or stir frying. An upscale Japanese leafy green, essential for high-end, gourmet culinary experimentation, or anyone looking to introduce a scrumptious new superfood into their repertoire.
