- Our favorite mustard greens, with large beautiful leaves that are dark purple. Delicious and spicy, it adds so much flavor to your lettuce salads. The taste gets hotter when the weather gets warmer. Mustard greens are so good for your health, they are packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins. It is second only to Brussels sprouts in terms of total glucosinolate content, which helps to protect against cancer and reduces cholesterol level. It is a great source of dietary fibre and calcium, it is highly nutritious, anti-inflammatory, and may also help aid in weight loss. And it is so easy to grow mustard from seed!
- It is also a great fast growing cover crop.
