Mildy peppery with piquant, mustardy notes, hardy Mizuna produces abundant, feathery leaves that may be stir-fried, pickled, added to soups or eaten raw as a salad garnish.
For a humble leaf, Mizuna is surprisingly high in protein and vitamins, especially vitamin A, C and K, and has anti-histamine/anti-inflamatory properties. Its magnesium content may assist in relieving high blood pressure, but don’t forget gardening alone is good for that.
