General Notes:
Also known as Spinach Mustard or Spoon Mustard, these diminutive, spoon-shaped greens make a pretty, edible edging for the kitchen garden. The leaves form shiny rosettes, great for both baby leaves harvested in the cut-and-come-again’ method and mature harvest at 6" to 8" tall. Tatsoi grows fast, so you can sow successively from spring to fall. Even in hot weather, you can use the tender leaves, discarding the stems when they become woody. Tatsoi is a low-calorie source of Vitamin C, calcium, carotenoids, folate, potassium and phytochemicals for healthy teeth, bones and eyes! It’s lovely stir-fried in a drizzle of garlic-chili oil and freshly grated ginger root, and plated under grilled salmon or broiled scallops and topped with a scattering of Crispy Fried Shallot Rings.
Personal Notes:
Too mustard-y for my taste, but popular with other household members on sandwiches. it's a very pretty plant and fun to grow. Works well in containers.
