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.
Approximately 30 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Autumn to spring
Mild climates: Autumn to spring
Cold climates: Spring to autumn
Microgreens: Year-round indoors or under suitable protected conditions
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.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
