Komatsuna Mustard Spinach is a Brassica rapa var. perviridis valued for mild, sweet leaves with a touch of zesty pungency. Leaves work in salads, soups, stir-fries, sauces and with meats.
Sow 1/4 inch deep outdoors from spring once soil reaches 55-60ºF into late summer. Sow 1-3 inches apart and thin to 12 inches for mature leaves, or close for baby greens. Sprouts in 4-10 days at 70-75ºF soil. One packet plants a 10 foot single row.
