Product Details

Sativa seeds from Italy (GMO-FREE DECLARATION) 

Perfect for the baby leaf market, Mizuna is one of the green leafy vegetables native to East Asia. It is an elegant Japanese green plant with narrow white stems and serrated, dark green edged leaves with thin stems and a slightly bitter peppery flavor. 

While it is commonly grown to be used in salad dressings, it can also be enjoyed cooked or pickled. It has a delicious spicy flavor and freshens up any salad combination, also excellent in stir-fries and soups. The plant can be harvested at any stage by cutting the leaves as needed or by harvesting the whole head. 

Mizuna has been used for centuries in folk remedies for aches, arthritis, and even promote cow milk production in some areas of the world.

Mizuna is an annual herb that grows best in cool weather in the sun. It will grow almost anywhere and although it will survive cold temperatures down to 2º C, it’s not as frost tolerant as some of the other herbs.

Takes approximately 25 days to grow baby leaves and 55 days to grow mature plants. Can be planted late spring to early summer or fall.
