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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 300 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 200 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\u003eMicrogreens \u0026amp; Baby Leaf Production: Year round Australia-wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: April to August\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: March to September\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: February to October\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring, autumn and winter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seed 5–10 mm deep directly into prepared garden beds, containers or rows.
