Larger leaves can also be lightly sautéed, steamed or tossed through stir-fries and noodle dishes, although cooking will soften the characteristic heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWasabi 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMustard greens have been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly throughout Asia, where \u003cem\u003eBrassica juncea\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 30 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\u003cbr\u003eMicrogreens: Year-round indoors or under suitable protected conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor garden growing, sow approximately 5–10 mm deep directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting.
