Fast growing, hardy and productive, it is an excellent leafy vegetable for gardeners wanting substantial harvests from a relatively small area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves have a pleasantly mild mustard flavour when young, developing a little more pungency as they mature. Baby leaves can be eaten fresh in salads and sandwiches, while larger leaves are excellent steamed, sautéed or braised, or added to soups, curries and stir-fries. Cooking softens both the texture and characteristic mustard heat.\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. Their rapid growth and ability to provide repeated harvests have made them an important cool-season green across many food cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiant Curled is particularly useful in warmer areas, where it shows better tolerance of heat than many cool-season leafy greens. Regular harvesting of the outer leaves encourages plants to continue producing from the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 130 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.

Grow in full sun during cooler weather, with some afternoon shade beneficial as temperatures increase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMustard greens prefer fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture for rapid, tender growth. Begin harvesting young leaves as required or allow plants to develop their characteristic large, deeply frilled foliage. Leave the central growing point intact when harvesting individual leaves for continued production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf saving seed, Giant Curled can cross-pollinate with other \u003cem\u003eBrassica juncea\u003c\/em\u003e varieties flowering at the same time, so appropriate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaturity: approximately 50 days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46375891271898,"sku":"prefix_681c1f72e44751.40565603","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_208e3d2a-7ba0-4955-90bd-6d079e7700c2.jpg?v=1754016985","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/mustard-greens-giant-curled-1465","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
