Red Rain Mizuna Mustard Greens

Red Rain mizuna has burgundy leaves with serrated edges, soft green ribbing, and a green underside. The leaves are about 6 to 8 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, and they grow in bunches on long stems coming from a central stalk. Red Rain mizuna is a mild tasting Asian green with peppery undertones, and its stems offer a firm and crunchy texture. It is harvested at both the baby lettuce and mature stages, with the younger leaves being more tender and mild. Red Rain Mizuna is high in beta carotene, vitamin C, folate, and iron. Plus, it is most commonly used in raw applications such as salads, sandwiches, or wraps, not to mention that it is a great substitute for cabbage. It can be used to make pesto, chimichurri, and other herb-centric sauces and spreads. It can also be sautéed, steamed, or lightly fried, and used in cooked applications like soups, stir fries, and curries. Red Rain mizuna pairs well with sesame oil, soy sauce, basil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, ginger, and mint.
