Brassica rapa subsp. nipposinica

Tendergreen Mustard is a popular Asian leafy green producing upright plants with glossy dark green leaves and a crisp, succulent texture. Renowned for its pleasant pungent flavour, it offers a milder taste than many traditional mustards while still providing a distinctive peppery character that enhances a wide range of dishes.

Fast growing and highly productive, Tendergreen can be harvested young for salads and mixed greens or allowed to mature for use in stir-fries, soups, steamed dishes and other cooked meals. The tender leaves remain succulent and flavoursome, making this variety a favourite among home gardeners and market growers alike.

Its vigorous growth, attractive foliage and versatility in the kitchen have made Tendergreen one of the most widely grown mustard greens throughout Asia and beyond.

Brassica juncea

Wasabi Mustard is a lively Mustard Green grown for its distinctive sharp, peppery flavour reminiscent of wasabi. Despite the name, this is not true Japanese wasabi (Wasabia japonica), but a variety of Brassica juncea selected for the pungent character of its leaves.

The young foliage delivers an immediate mustardy heat with a fresh, spicy finish, making it particularly good in salads, sandwiches and wraps or used sparingly as a garnish. Larger leaves can also be lightly sautéed, steamed or tossed through stir-fries and noodle dishes, although cooking will soften the characteristic heat.

Wasabi Mustard is especially well suited to microgreen production. The young seedlings develop plenty of flavour at an early stage and make an excellent spicy addition to microgreen and baby-leaf mixes.

Mustard greens have been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly throughout Asia, where Brassica juncea has developed into an enormous diversity of leafy, stem and root vegetables. Their characteristic pungency comes from naturally occurring glucosinolates and the compounds produced when the plant tissue is cut or chewed.

Fast growing and easy to harvest, Wasabi Mustard can be grown for microgreens, baby leaves or allowed to develop into larger plants for repeated leaf picking.

Planting / Sowing

For garden growing, sow approximately 5–10 mm deep directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting. Keep consistently moist during germination.

For full-sized plants, thin or transplant to approximately 20–30 cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Grow in full sun during cooler weather, with some afternoon shade beneficial as temperatures increase.

For microgreens, sow densely across the surface of a shallow tray filled with a suitable growing medium, cover lightly and keep consistently moist. Harvest once the seedlings have developed their first true leaves and reached the desired size.

Harvest individual outer leaves from mature plants while leaving the central growing point intact for continued production.

If saving seed, Wasabi Mustard can cross-pollinate with other Brassica juncea varieties flowering at the same time, so appropriate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.

Brassica rapa

Komatsuna, often known as Mustard Spinach, is a traditional Japanese leafy green prized for its tender light green leaves, crisp stems and mild nutty mustard flavour. Despite its common name, it is not a true spinach but is valued for its versatility, productivity and ability to thrive through the cooler months.

The smooth leaves feature gently serrated edges and remain tender even as plants mature. Young leaves are excellent in salads, while mature plants are ideal for stir-fries, soups, steaming and other cooked dishes. The mild flavour is less pungent than many mustard greens, making Komatsuna a popular choice for gardeners seeking a versatile and easy-to-use leafy vegetable.

Fast growing and highly productive, Komatsuna provides generous harvests in approximately 45–52 days and can be harvested as baby leaf, cut-and-come-again greens or mature plants.

Urtica dioica

Nettle is one of the most valued medicinal herbs in the Western herbal tradition, prized for its exceptional nutritional profile and wide range of traditional uses. This hardy perennial grows to approximately 1 m tall and produces upright stems clothed in distinctive serrated leaves. While fresh plants are covered in tiny stinging hairs, cooking, drying or processing neutralises the sting completely.

Rich in naturally occurring minerals and nutrients, Nettle contains iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, silica, vitamin A and other trace elements. Traditionally, it has been used as a nourishing tonic to support general wellbeing, vitality and recovery during times of increased nutritional demand. Nettle has also long been valued in herbal medicine for supporting healthy urinary function, seasonal wellbeing and overall vitality.

In the kitchen, young leaves can be steamed, added to soups, made into pesto, infused as a tea or incorporated into a variety of cooked dishes. The flavour is often compared to spinach with a richer, earthier character.

Nettle is equally useful in the garden. Organic growers have traditionally used nettle teas and fermented liquid fertilisers to feed plants, while extracts have been employed as part of natural pest and disease management programs. It thrives in rich, moisture-retentive soils and will tolerate partial shade.
