The large rounded to oval leaves can reach approximately 20 cm long and provide generous harvests over a relatively short growing period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung leaves have a fresh, peppery mustard flavour and can be picked for salads, sandwiches and mixed baby greens. As the leaves mature, their flavour becomes stronger and more pungent. Cooking mellows the heat considerably, making them excellent steamed, sautéed, braised or added to soups, curries and stir-fries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMustard greens have been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly throughout Asia, where \u003cem\u003eBrassica juncea\u003c\/em\u003e developed into an enormous diversity of leafy, stem and root vegetables. Florida Broadleaf became a popular American mustard variety, particularly in the southern United States, where cooked mustard greens are a traditional part of regional cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast growing and tolerant of cool conditions, Florida Broadleaf is an excellent cut-and-come-again vegetable. Harvest individual outer leaves while leaving the central growing point intact and plants will continue producing fresh foliage. Cooler weather generally produces milder, sweeter leaves, while warm conditions intensify the mustardy flavour and encourage plants to bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 300 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 170 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5–10 mm deep directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting.
