Light green, extra serrated frills with mild spice at babyleaf stage, maturing to extra spicy at full size.
Excellent winter salad variety with exceptional cold tolerance and field holding quality. Addition to salad mixes adds volume and loft and full-size leaves are strong and perfectly suited for bunching. Delicious raw in baby greens salads and equally desirable when steamed and lightly sauteed when harvested at larger growth stages. From our partners at CN Seeds.

CULTURAL INFO:
Most Brassica greens are moderately hardy annuals that can be sown from early spring through midsummer. Commonly grown as baby leaf for salad mixes in the US, and also traditionally grown for full size leaves in ethnic cuisine or stir-fry and pickled. Light cooking dispels mustard heat to reveal a very sweet and full flavor. Direct seed as soon as soil can be worked. Sow every 3 weeks into fall for a continuous harvest. Harvest leaves as desired. Use floating row cover when planting to protect from flea beetles.
