Description
The Chinese Leaf Mustard (Brassica juncea var. rugosa), a subvariety of Indian Mustard, is a rewarding plant for the vegetable bed. After a few weeks, the hot leaves can already be harvested and consumed fresh or prepared in the wok.
The taste is reminiscent of mustard with a cress-like tanginess. For a longer harvest period, the blossom roots should be broken away and you should make sure not to harm the cabbage heart.

super gekeimt und sehr guter Geschmack
wir haben den Osaka im Hochbeet ausgesät, er ist super aufgegangen und schmeckt phantastisch, leicht scharf.
Wir essen ihn hauptsächlich im Salat.

Amazing packaging design and there is also a booklet explaining every single detail about sowing and seedlings care.
